How Do I Know If My Ford Is A Lemon?
Your Ford is probably a lemon if during the first 18,000 miles or first 18 months, any of the following occurred:
- Substantial Safety Issue – Dealer attempted two (2) or more times to fix the same issue that can cause serious bodily injury or death; OR
- Non-substantial safety issue – Dealer attempted four (4) or more times to fix the same issue; OR

What Happens Next if My Ford Is A Lemon?
If your Ford is a Lemon, there may be several options with its own benefits.
One of the most common option is a buyback. When the Manufacturer repurchases your vehicle, they will compensate you for your payments (including down payment and monthly payments), registration, and certain damages. Your Ford is now officially a lemon law buyback!
Another option is a recall. This is when the manufacturer notifies all vehicle owners of a defect that needs to be fixed. The difference is that not all lemons are recalled. They can go through buy back. However, if your lemon was recalled, you can receive compensation for your damages.
What If My Ford Doesn’t Meet These Requirements?
Even if your Ford cannot meet the above requirements, you may still have a valid lemon law claim against Ford. Many of Ford owners bear the burden of driving a defective Ford simply because they are not fully aware of their rights and assume they don’t have a valid lemon law claim on their Ford. The manufacturer can buyback your lemon or give you compensation for the time the car was defective and allow you to cash and keep your lemon.
