If your INFINITI keeps cycling through the same warranty repair with no lasting fix, an Austin, TX INFINITI lemon law lawyer may help you pursue a vehicle buyback, replacement, or cash settlement under Texas law.
A Q50, QX60, or QX80 that spends more weeks at the dealership than on I-35 is not the ownership experience you signed up for. At The Lemon Lawyers, our Austin office handles INFINITI lemon law and warranty claims across Texas. We review repair histories, deal with the manufacturer, and pursue remedies on your behalf. Call (512) 387-3510 to find out if your INFINITI may qualify.
Share a few details about the vehicle and its repair history. There’s no charge to have us review your situation. If we take your case, we only get paid if you do.
Deciding to hire a lemon law attorney usually happens after months of frustration, not before your first oil change. Here’s why INFINITI owners across Austin and Central Texas bring their claims to our team.
The Lemon Lawyers operate from a physical office at 1204 San Antonio St, Second Floor, in downtown Austin, 78701. That means you have a local team who knows Travis County, understands the TxDMV complaint process, and is familiar with the INFINITI dealerships serving the Austin area. In-person consultations, document reviews, and case strategy meetings are always an option.
Some firms treat lemon law as one item on a long menu. For us, defective vehicle warranty claims are the entire menu. That difference matters when your INFINITI’s repair history needs to be translated into a compelling case against Nissan North America, the parent company that distributes INFINITI vehicles in the United States.
After we take your case, our team handles all communication with Nissan North America’s warranty and legal departments, prepares your TxDMV complaint, organizes the supporting documentation, and represents you through mediation or a formal hearing. You stop chasing the manufacturer and start getting updates from us instead.
Our firm works on contingency. The initial case evaluation is free, there is no billing by the hour, and we only collect a fee if your claim produces a recovery. That fee structure keeps our motivation pointed in the same direction as yours.
Our Austin office is home base, but we take INFINITI lemon law and warranty claims from vehicle owners across Texas, including Dallas and the surrounding metro. Wherever your INFINITI was purchased, our team may be able to help.

Texas lemon law, found in Chapter 2301, Subchapter M of the Texas Occupations Code, protects buyers and lessees of new vehicles sold in the state that develop persistent warranty-covered defects. INFINITI is not excluded. Any new INFINITI purchased or leased from a licensed Texas dealer and still within the manufacturer’s original warranty may qualify if a substantial defect remains after a reasonable number of repair attempts.
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) administers the process, which follows an administrative path through mediation and, if necessary, a formal hearing before an examiner.
The defect must substantially impair the vehicle’s use, market value, or safety. Not every annoyance qualifies, but persistent issues that affect drivability or safety often do. Warranty problems that may meet this threshold in INFINITI vehicles include:
Cosmetic flaws or damage caused by aftermarket modifications typically fall outside the law’s reach.
New vehicle buyers and lessees receive the strongest protections. A used INFINITI may still be eligible if it remains under the manufacturer’s original warranty when the defect surfaces and was reported, or if the defect started during the warranty period and continues unresolved. Vehicles sold “as-is” with no remaining factory warranty generally do not qualify through the TxDMV process.
INFINITI provides a 4-year/60,000-mile basic (bumper-to-bumper) warranty and a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty. Because the powertrain coverage extends beyond the basic warranty, some second owners may still fall within the powertrain window depending on mileage and original purchase date.
An Austin INFINITI lemon law attorney may help identify which warranty protections remain in play.
INFINITI CPO vehicles carry additional warranty coverage. If a CPO INFINITI develops recurring defects under that coverage, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 2301-2312) or breach of warranty theories may provide a remedy, even when the TxDMV lemon law process does not directly apply.
Texas law sets three separate tests for what counts as a reasonable number of repair attempts. Meeting any one of these within the first 24 months or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first) may support a lemon law claim for your INFINITI.
These standards apply across the full INFINITI lineup: Q50, Q60, QX50, QX55, QX60, and QX80. What matters most is the paper trail: repair orders with dates, mileage readings, and technician notes describing both the complaint and the attempted fix.
When the TxDMV finds that an INFINITI qualifies under Texas lemon law, or when a separate warranty claim succeeds in court, the following outcomes may be ordered or negotiated.
Remedies through the TxDMV are governed by the Texas Occupations Code.
INFINITI (through Nissan North America) participates nationally in the BBB AUTO LINE dispute resolution program. INFINITI’s warranty booklet states whether owners are required to use BBB AUTO LINE in good faith before pursuing court remedies under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
The TxDMV lemon law complaint, however, operates under Texas state law and follows its own procedural track. Whether you need to go through BBB AUTO LINE before filing your specific INFINITI claim depends on the legal theories involved and which remedies you are seeking.
BBB AUTO LINE is free, manufacturer-funded, and offers both mediation and arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision is non-binding on the consumer but binding on Nissan North America if the consumer accepts. An INFINITI lemon law attorney in Austin may help determine the most effective filing strategy for your situation, whether that means BBB AUTO LINE first, the TxDMV process, or both.
Filing an INFINITI lemon law claim in Texas follows a defined administrative track. Here’s what to expect at each stage.
Gather every repair order, your purchase or lease contract, warranty booklet, and any correspondence with the INFINITI dealership or Nissan North America’s consumer affairs team. Log the drop-off date, pickup date, and odometer reading for each service visit. This documentation is what turns a frustrating ownership experience into a provable claim.
Texas law requires the vehicle owner to notify the manufacturer of the defect in writing and provide one final opportunity to repair the vehicle. Certified mail creates a verifiable delivery record. Our team prepares and sends this notice on behalf of our clients.
A written complaint is submitted to the TxDMV Enforcement Division along with a filing fee (which may be reimbursed if the vehicle qualifies as a lemon). Once accepted, TxDMV assigns a case advisor to manage the next steps.
The TxDMV case advisor works to broker a resolution between you and Nissan North America’s warranty or legal team. A significant number of INFINITI claims reach a resolution during mediation. If no agreement is reached, the case advances to a hearing.
An independent hearing examiner reviews the repair documentation, hears testimony from both sides, and issues a written decision. Possible outcomes include a repurchase, replacement, directed repair, or denial. Either party may file a motion for rehearing, and appeals proceed through a Travis County state district court.
Texas lemon law claims must be filed with the TxDMV within six months of whichever comes first:
Missing this window, even by a short margin, may eliminate the TxDMV administrative path entirely. Many INFINITI owners lose time by agreeing to yet another dealer repair visit instead of consulting a lemon law attorney. Acting early keeps the full range of remedies on the table, including federal warranty claims under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act that follow a different timeline.
The difference between a strong claim and a weak one often comes down to paperwork. Pulling these records together before your case evaluation gives our team a head start.
If records are incomplete, our Austin team may be able to retrieve repair histories through the dealership or Nissan North America’s internal database.
Yes. Texas lemon law covers both purchased and leased new vehicles. If your leased INFINITI has a persistent warranty defect that meets the repair attempt or days-out-of-service thresholds, the TxDMV complaint process is available. The specifics of your lease terms and warranty coverage will shape the remedies that may apply.
That phrase appears on repair orders more often than it should. An inability to replicate an intermittent defect does not automatically disqualify your claim. The repair order still documents your complaint and the dealer’s response, and it can help show your repair history. Keeping your own written log of each occurrence, with dates and driving conditions, strengthens the pattern.
No. Filing a lemon law complaint with the TxDMV has no effect on your INFINITI warranty coverage. Nissan North America remains obligated to honor warranty terms while the complaint is pending.
A BBB AUTO LINE decision is non-binding on the consumer. If you rejected the arbitrator’s outcome, or if the program denied your claim, other legal paths remain open. The TxDMV lemon law process and Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act claims operate independently from BBB AUTO LINE. An Austin INFINITI lemon law attorney may help evaluate whether pursuing a different channel produces a stronger result.
Continuously variable transmission (CVT) problems are among the most commonly reported defects in certain INFINITI and Nissan models. If your INFINITI’s CVT issue is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty and meets the Texas repair attempt thresholds, it may support a lemon law claim. Nissan North America has also been involved in class action settlement agreements related to CVT defects in certain model years, which may provide an additional avenue, depending on your vehicle.
The dealership has had its chances. If your INFINITI’s repair history already shows multiple attempts for the same defect or 30-plus days off the road, the case may be closer to ready than you think.
The Lemon Lawyers handle INFINITI lemon law and warranty claims for vehicle owners across Texas, including Dallas and the surrounding areas. A free case evaluation takes minutes, and there is no cost unless we recover for you.
