Different states in this country have different statute of limitations with respect to the required timing to file a complaint under their lemon laws and statutes modeled after the UDAP. However, from a practical matter, it is deemed a safe bet that one would have two (2) years after the car's sale to file a legal action with respect to your question under such theories of recovery.
