Utah Lemon Law Battles Exposed | Salt Lake City News

Two Utah residents fought brutal battles to get their new cars—both from the same manufacturer—taken back under the state’s Lemon Law. John Nowoslawski’s Chrysler hybrid spent 258 days in the shop before he finally got a buyback after years of legal wrangling. Patrick and Teresa Evans’ Jeep Wrangler had a check-engine light within a week, was out of commission for over 200 days, and despite a state-backed buyback, they lost thousands on custom accessories. The Division of Consumer Protection has sued the manufacturer five times in two years, but can’t recover legal costs—forcing taxpayers to foot the bill. Both consumers say Utah’s law is too tough to navigate, especially for expensive vehicles, and demand stronger protections for buyers stuck with lemons.
