The New Jersey Motorized Wheelchair Lemon Law requires manufacturers to provide customers with warranties that last at least one year and cover defects which impair the use, value or safety of the motorized wheelchair and scooter.
If your wheelchair or scooter has the same problem after three repair attempts or is out of service for a total of 20 days, you may be entitled to a replacement, refund or early lease termination, minus a reasonable allowance for use. A reasonable allowance for use is based on the number of days that the wheelchair was used before you first reported the problem. There are certain notice requirements you must meet before filing a Motorized Wheelchair Lemon Law application.
