Lemon Law Unit
New Car

New Jersey's Lemon Law Unit handles new car, used car and motorized wheelchair ( power scooter) complaints.

In order to qualify for Lemon Law protection, the new car in question must be less than two years old and have fewer than 18,000 miles. The defects complained of must materially impair the use, safety or value of the car. If you believe you have a "lemon" which meets these conditions, you may be eligible for relief. In order to qualify for Lemon Law relief, you must complete a Lemon Law application and pay a $50 processing fee. If your case is successful, the fee will be returned. You can reach the Lemon Law Unit by calling 973-504-6226 or write to P.O. Box 45026, Newark, New Jersey 07101.
