What are the Minnesota Lemon Laws?

Answer:
Minnesota Lemon Laws are intended to protect

consumers against damages resulting from motor vehicle non-compliance to express warranties. Minnesota Lemon Laws provide coverage for new and used motor vehicle sales, under separate laws.

Described as:

New Vehicles: Minnesota (MN) Lemon Law
325F.665-New motor vehicle warranties; manufacturer's duty to repair, refund, or replace.

Used Vehicles: Minnesota (MN) Used Car Warranty Law
325F.662-Sale of used motor vehicles.

Under the new vehicle laws, consumers must file official complaints of non-compliance within the manufacturer's warranty period or two years, whichever comes first.

In the case of used vehicles, all Minnesota automobile dealers are required to provide used vehicle express warranties based on a specific scale relating to the mileage on the vehicle. Consumers may file complaints under Minnesota Lemon Laws within those respective periods.

Vehicles with more than 75,000 miles or that sell for less than $3000 are exempt from this requirement.

Minnesota Lemon Laws covering new and used vehicles require consumers to allow for a reasonable number of attempts at repairing non-compliances to be made prior to manufacturer or dealer having to replace the vehicle or refund purchase money.
