Arizona Lemon Law Overview
Arizona provides statutory protections for consumers who purchase defective motor vehicles or assistive devices that fail to conform to an express warranty. These protections include repair obligations, refund or replacement remedies, and specific criteria for determining when a reasonable number of repair attempts has been made.
Arizona’s Motor Vehicle Lemon Law
Under A.R.S. § 44-1263, if a manufacturer or its authorized agents cannot conform a motor vehicle to an express warranty after a reasonable number of repair attempts, the manufacturer must:
- Replace the vehicle with a new one, or
- Refund the full purchase price, including
- Collateral charges
- Less a reasonable allowance for use
A manufacturer may assert affirmative defenses, including:
- The nonconformity does not substantially impair the vehicle’s use or market value
The nonconformity resulted from abuse, neglect, or unauthorized modifications
Presumption of a Reasonable Number of Repair Attempts
Under A.R.S. § 44-1264, a reasonable number of attempts is presumed if:
- The same nonconformity has been subject to repair four or more times, or
- The vehicle is out of service for repair for a total of 30 or more calendar days
This presumption applies during the warranty term or within two years or 24,000 miles of delivery, whichever occurs first.
Used Motor Vehicle Warranty
Arizona imposes warranty obligations on used vehicle dealers under A.R.S. § 44-1267.
Dealers must provide an implied warranty of merchantability for:
- 15 days, or
- 500 miles,
whichever is earlier.
This warranty guarantees the vehicle is:
- Safe, and
- Substantially free of defects that significantly limit its use for ordinary transportation
Dealers may not disclaim this warranty during the required period. Any attempt to do so renders the purchase agreement voidable at the buyer’s option.
Assistive Device Lemon Law
Under A.R.S. § 44-1352, manufacturers of assistive devices must provide a one-year express warranty against defects, malfunctions, or conditions that substantially impair the device’s use, safety, or value.
If the manufacturer cannot repair a nonconformity after a reasonable attempt, the consumer may require the manufacturer to:
- Replace the device, or
- Refund the purchase price, including
- Collateral costs
- Minus a reasonable allowance for use
A “reasonable attempt to repair” is defined in A.R.S. § 44-1351 as:
- At least two repair attempts for the same nonconformity, or
The device being out of service for repair for at least 30 cumulative days
Summary
Arizona’s consumer protection laws provide:
- Refund or replacement rights for vehicles that cannot be repaired after reasonable attempts
- Presumptions for determining when repair attempts are sufficient
- Mandatory 15-day/500-mile implied warranty for used motor vehicles
- One-year warranty protections for assistive devices
- Remedies for defects that substantially impair use, safety, or value

This place is real. I have a hard time believing people and they really went to work for me and got me more than what I was asking for.
Thank you so much Kaven was one of the best help me out with the settlement
Kevin was absolutely phenomenal to work with. This was about as straightforward and easy of a process as I’ve ever experienced. I can not recommend the Lemon Lawyer enough.
I was referred by a coworker that was going through the very same experience that I was. Everything he said about the Law Firm was true down to the T. They are very thorough in their proceedings. They also provide you with enough information to make the process very seamless. I was updated and communicated with through the whole process. I have to say they fight very hard for you and on your behalf. These people really know what they’re doing.
Awesome people to work with. If I had to again I wouldn’t choose anyone else to represent me.
Mr. Duck handled my case so smoothly. I purchased a brand new Grand Wagoneer and it spent more time in the shop than I want to even think about. By time I hired Mr. Duck, the car still wasn't completely fixed but we went down this path and did settle. I wasn't comfortable settling until they agreed to complete all repairs, Mr. Duck went above and beyond going back to them to negotiate the completion of repairs on top of the settlement. It was such an easy process on my end and Mr. Duck and his associates were great to work with. Highly recommend.
Duck Law firm did an awesome job! I wish been able to get a new truck out of the deal but the extra cash helped. These trucks are not built the way use to be — so far my new 2024 hasn’t given me any issues! 2020 & 2022 both lemons
Duck Law Firm was excellent in resolving my lemon issue. They followed through with the process, and I received far more than they initially estimated I would when the case was resolved. I will recommend them to anyone who is going through an unfortunate lemon issue!
Handled our settlement with ease. We did not have to do a thing and they did all of the work. Very pleased with our transaction.
