Georgia Lemon Law Summary
SUMMARY OF
THE GEORGIA MOTOR VEHICLE WARRANTY RIGHTS ACT
AND THE GEORGIA LEMON LAW
Georgia recently enacted significant changes to its lemon law. On January 1,
2009, the new Lemon Law replaced the prior Motor Vehicle Warranty
Rights Act.
The Georgia Attorney General’s Office and the Governor’s Office of Consumer
Affairs have issued guidance indicating that the prior law, the Motor Vehicle
Warranty Rights Act, applies to vehicles that were purchased, leased or registered
before January 1, 2009. The new Lemon Law applies to vehicles that were
purchased, leased or registered on or after January 1, 2009.
Please review the legal standards and remedies that will apply to your claim:
A summary of the Motor Vehicle Warranty Rights Act for vehicles
purchased, leased or registered before January 1, 2009 is found at

A summary of the Lemon Law for vehicles purchased, leased or
registered on or after January 1, 2009 is found at pages 10 through
