Mitsubishi Lemon Law Lawyers

You can check for open Mitsubishi recalls at NHTSA.gov by entering your VIN.

However, a recall and a lemon law claim are two different things. A recall addresses a specific safety defect across a model line — Mitsubishi fixes it for free, and that’s the end of it. A lemon law claim covers any substantial defect that the dealer can’t fix after a reasonable number of attempts, whether or not it’s been recalled.

In our practice, we regularly see Mitsubishi vehicles with recurring problems that were never subject to a recall — persistent transmission issues, electrical failures, engine problems — that absolutely qualify under state lemon laws.

If your Mitsubishi keeps going back to the dealer for the same issue, don’t wait for a recall.

Mitsubishi’s buyback program is not a voluntary goodwill offer — it’s a legal obligation triggered when a vehicle meets lemon law criteria under your state’s statute. When Mitsubishi “buys back” a vehicle, they repurchase it at the original sale price minus a mileage offset for the use you got before the defect appeared.

The process involves filing a formal lemon law demand, negotiating with Mitsubishi’s legal team, and surrendering the vehicle once terms are finalized. Mitsubishi does not advertise this — you need to assert your rights.

Easy Lemon handles the entire process at no cost to you, because Mitsubishi is required to pay our attorney’s fees under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Based on cases our firm has handled, the Mitsubishi Outlander leads in lemon law claims, followed by the Outlander , Mirage, Outlander Sport. Engine/ Transmission and Brake/ Steering/ Suspension are the primary drivers across all Mitsubishi models.

If your Mitsubishi has been to the dealer multiple times for the same unresolved problem, you likely have a valid claim regardless of the specific model.

From our caseload, the most common Mitsubishi defects we pursue under lemon law include: engine and transmission failures (stalling, rough shifting, loss of power, check engine lights); brake, steering, and suspension problems; electrical and technology defects (infotainment malfunctions, sensor failures, wiring issues).

The key qualifier isn’t the specific defect — it’s whether the dealer has had a reasonable number of attempts to fix it and failed.

If your Mitsubishi has been in the shop three or more times for the same problem, or out of service for 30 or more cumulative days, you likely have a valid lemon law claim.

Mitsubishi lemon law settlements vary based on the vehicle’s purchase price, defect severity, repair history, and your state’s lemon law.

Cash & Keep settlements — where you keep the vehicle and receive a cash payout — typically range from $7,500 to $9,500.

Buyback cases, where Mitsubishi repurchases the vehicle entirely, result in significantly higher total recoveries.

Easy Lemon evaluates every case individually to maximize your compensation.

Yes — and acting while the warranty is active strengthens your case.

Most state lemon laws require the defect to occur during the manufacturer’s warranty period.

If your Mitsubishi has been in the shop three or more times for the same unresolved problem — or out of service for 30 or more cumulative days — you likely have a valid claim.

Don’t wait until the warranty expires.

Easy Lemon evaluates your case for free and handles the entire process at no cost to you.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a federal consumer protection law that works alongside your state’s lemon law to protect Mitsubishi owners nationwide.

Under Magnuson-Moss, when Mitsubishi’s warranty fails in its essential purpose — meaning the dealer cannot fix a covered defect despite reasonable attempts — you can pursue a refund, replacement, or damages regardless of which state you live in.

Critically, Mitsubishi is required to pay your attorney’s fees if you prevail, which is why Easy Lemon can represent you at no out-of-pocket cost.
