What vehicles are covered by the Nevada lemon law?
Nevada lemon law covers new and used vehicles that are purchased to be used on public roads. Leased vehicles, off-road vehicles, and motor homes are not covered.

What problems are covered by Nevada lemon law?
Nevada lemon law states that if a vehicle has a serious defect that falls under the manufacturer's warranty and which affects the vehicle's use, safety, or value, the manufacturer must repair it at no cost. In order for the Nevada lemon law to apply, the nonconformity must be reported within the warranty period or the first year of vehicle ownership, whichever comes first.

If the manufacturer is unable to repair the nonconformity within a reasonable number of attempts, Nevada lemon law states that the vehicle must be repurchased or replaced. The manufacturer is presumed to have had a reasonable chance to repair the nonconformity after four unsuccessful attempts to repair the same problem, or 30 cumulative calendar days when the vehicle is out of commission for repairs.

Filing a claim under Nevada lemon law
Before a consumer can file a Nevada lemon law claim with the judicial system, he must attempt to resolve the issue using the manufacturer's certified informal settlement process. All claims must be filed within 18 months of receiving possession of the vehicle.

Settlements under Nevada lemon law
If a vehicle is repurchased under Nevada lemon law, the manufacturer must pay a sum that includes the full purchase price and all government charges like sales tax and license fees. This amount can be offset by a reasonable sum for the usage of the vehicle calculated by the amount of vehicle loss caused by the customer's usage whenever the vehicle was not in the hands of the manufacturer for repairs.

If a vehicle is replaced under Nevada lemon law, the new vehicle must be the same make, model, and style as the original, or must be comparable to the original.
