Louisiana Lemon Law

 

If after four or more attempts within the express warranty term or during a period of one year following the date of the original delivery of the motor vehicle to the consumer, whichever is the earlier, the nonconformity has not been repaired or if the vehicle is out-of-service by reason of repair for a cumulative total of ninety or more calendar days during the warranty period, the manufacturer shall, at its option, either replace the motor vehicle with a comparable new motor vehicle or accept return of the motor vehicle and refund the full purchase price plus any amounts paid by the consumer at the point of sale, and all collateral costs less a reasonable allowance for use to the consumer or any holder of a perfected security interest in the motor vehicle as their interest may appear. A reasonable allowance for use shall be that amount directly attributable to use by the consumer prior to his first notice of nonconformity to the manufacturer, agent, or dealer and during any subsequent period when the vehicle is not out-of-service by reason of repair. For additional information please contact the Public Protection Division of the Department of Justice at 301 Main Street, Suite 1250, Baton Rouge, LA 70825.
