Complaint counts come from NHTSA and are unverified owner reports. A high count does not mean every vehicle has the problem or that you have a claim.
How repeat suspension repairs fit the lemon law thresholds
The lemon laws look at your vehicle's own repair history, not at complaint counts for a model. If the same suspension problem keeps coming back after repairs, these are the thresholds that create a presumption:
- Maryland (Md. Code, Com. Law § 14-1502): 4 or more repair attempts for the same defect, 30 or more cumulative days out of service, or 1 repair attempt for a brake or steering failure that still fails Maryland safety inspection standards.
- D.C. (D.C. Code § 50-502(d)): 4 or more repairs for the same non-safety problem, 1 or more repairs for a safety-related problem, or 30 or more cumulative days out of service.
Both laws also require the problem to be reported within the coverage period. General information, not legal advice.
