Common Defects

Known Tesla Lemon Law Issues
in New York

Under NY General Business Law § 198-a, if your Tesla has been in for the same repair 4+ times — or been out of service 30+ days within the first 2 years or 18,000 miles — the manufacturer must buy it back or replace it. They pay our fees.

💻
MCU Memory Failure (Model S/X)
The MCU1 eMMC chip in 2012–2018 Model S and X fails progressively — eventually disabling the touchscreen, backup camera, navigation and climate control. NHTSA investigated.
🔋
Battery Degradation Beyond Normal
Model 3 and S batteries degrade faster than warranted ranges, resulting in guaranteed-range shortfall. Repeated warranty claims for excess degradation qualify.
🚗
Steering Rack Defect
Model 3 (2017–2018) had a steering rack recall for defective welds — safety defect creating the clearest lemon law path.
📱
Software Regressions
OTA updates introduce new defects — touchscreen reboots, autopilot disengagements, and feature removals. Tesla cannot argue software "fixes" it also "unfixes."
🌬️
Heat Pump / Thermal System (Model Y)
The Model Y heat pump fails in cold weather — a significant issue in NY winters. Repeated heating system repairs within warranty.
🔌
Charging Port / Onboard Charger Failures
The onboard charger and charging port fail on Model S and X — a vehicle that cannot reliably charge has lost its fundamental purpose.

⚖️ New York’s Lemon Law Is One of the Strongest in the Country

Under NY General Business Law § 198-a, a manufacturer is presumed to have had a reasonable number of repair attempts if either threshold is met within the first 2 years or 18,000 miles:

4 or more repair attempts for the same defect that continues to exist
30 or more cumulative days out of service for repairs

You are entitled to choose a full purchase price refund (including taxes and fees) or a comparable replacement vehicle. The manufacturer is required to pay your attorney fees and costs if you prevail — meaning our representation costs you nothing.
