The Lemon Law in Wyoming

Wyoming's lemon law covers self-propelled motor vehicles under 10,000 pounds unladen weight sold or registered in Wyoming. If a new vehicle does not conform to its express warranty and the consumer reports the problem within one year after delivery, the manufacturer must make the needed repairs, even after the year ends. If a defect that substantially impairs the vehicle's use and fair market value cannot be fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer must replace it with a new or comparable vehicle or take it back and refund the full purchase price, including collateral charges, minus a reasonable allowance for use. A reasonable number of attempts is presumed if, within one year after delivery, the same defect was subject to repair more than three times and continues, or the vehicle was out of service for a cumulative 30 business days; the manufacturer must first receive direct written notice and a chance to cure. A consumer must first use any qualifying manufacturer dispute program before seeking replacement or refund. An injured consumer may sue and recover reasonable attorney's fees.

1) Report the problem to the manufacturer, its agent or an authorized dealer within one year after original delivery. 2) Written notice: the presumption that the manufacturer had a reasonable number of repair attempts does not apply unless the manufacturer received prior direct written notice from or on behalf of the consumer and had a reasonable opportunity to fix the defect. 3) Arbitration: if the manufacturer has an informal dispute settlement procedure that complies with federal law and rules, the consumer must use up that procedure before the refund-or-replacement remedy applies. The lemon law section does not create a state-run arbitration program or set a consumer fee. 4) Lawsuit: a consumer harmed by a violation may file a civil action and recover reasonable attorney's fees from the manufacturer. The lemon law section does not state a specific deadline to file a claim or lawsuit.
