Toyota Motor Company, generally known as “Toyota,” is a multinational automotive corporation located in Japan. Toyota is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world, producing about 10 million vehicles per year. Toyota has received accolades for being a leader in the development and sales of more fuel efficient hybrid electric vehicles, starting with the Toyota Prius in 1997. The company now produces more than 40 hybrid vehicle models around the world.
Toyota is the largest automaker in the world with a long-standing quality reputation. However, under pressure from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Toyota has conducted recalls of millions of vehicles after reports that several drivers experienced unintended acceleration. Toyota has also been impacted by the recall of faulty airbag inflators made by Takata. Millions of vehicles were recalled due this airbag malfunction. Many of these Toyota vehicles can be considered lemons under Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York law.

As the vehicle’s owner, you need to become aware of the initial criteria of a Toyota Lemon Law case and buyback option. The first guideline is the vehicle, whether new or leased, old or new, must still be under warranty. The second guideline covers safety aspects. Does the vehicle’s issue pose a risk to the driver, passengers, or other drivers on the road? Or does the issue reduce the vehicle’s value? Finally, has the manufacturer already been given a fair number of attempts to repair the mechanical issue? These basic parameters must be met before proceeding with legal action under the Toyota Lemon Law.
