Your ability to receive compensation under lemon law depends on the warranty terms. As long as the defect was first reported to the Audi manufacturer within the terms of the warranty, you may still receive lemon law benefits – even if the warranty expires during the repair process.
If the warranty expires before you report the defect – and you can’t prove the vehicle was defective during the terms of the warranty – you won’t likely have a valid claim. Reporting issues to the manufacturer must be done as soon as you notice something is wrong. Delaying the process can potentially ruin your claim – not to mention putting you and other drivers at risk.
