Colorado Lemon Law Information
The Colorado Lemon Law applies when, during the first one-year period following delivery of the vehicle:
- the dealer has attempted to repair the same problem four or more times, or
- the vehicle has been out of service due to repair attempts by the dealer for a total of 30 or more business days.
The defect or problem must substantially impair the use or the market value of the vehicle. Prior to suing a manufacturer for a refund or replacement vehicle, you must first send a written notice of defect by certified mail to the manufacturer, give them a chance to repair it and go through the manufacturer's informal dispute settlement procedure, if one exists. Manufacturers that have a dispute settlement, or arbitration, procedure that complies with Federal standards are not subject to provisions of the Lemon Law concerning refunds or replacement until the customer has pursued arbitration.
Colorado Lemon Law information from the Attorney General's Office »Autobeef notes: Colorado has one of the worst Lemon Laws in the U.S (from the consumer's perspective). Most Lemon Laws from other states cover the owner for a longer period, require less repair attempts & apply when the vehicle has been out of service for fewer days. Write to your congressional representatives if you want this changed.
