Wisconsin Lemon Law

 

 

If a new motor vehicle does not conform to an applicable express warranty and the consumer reports the nonconformity to the manufacturer or any of its authorized motor vehicle dealers and makes the motor vehicle available for repair before the expiration of the warranty or one year after first delivery of the motor vehicle to a consumer whichever is sooner, the nonconformity shall be repaired. If after four (4) attempts to repair the nonconformity of the motor vehicle is out of service for an aggregate of at least 30 days because of warranty nonconformities, and it is not repaired, the manufacturer shall, at the direction of the consumer, either replace the motor vehicle with a comparable new motor vehicle or accept return of the motor vehicle and refund to the consumer and to any holder of a perfected security interest in the motor vehicle, as their interest may appear, the full purchase price plus any sales tax, finance charge, amount paid by the consumer at the point of sale and collateral cost associated with the repair of the nonconformity, less a reasonable allowance for use. The Title is branded “This vehicle is a manufacturers buyback.”. For additional information please contact the Department of Transportation, Dealer Section, PO Box 7909, Madison, WI 53707.
