How do I get a refund or warranty repair for a defective product in Nevada?
Under Nevada law, buyers of goods or services may be entitled to a refund or replacement when goods are defective, not as represented, or not received as promised. For many purchases governed by the state's solicitation rules, consumers must return unused goods or make a written request within a set time to preserve the right to a refund or replacement. For certain products like motor vehicles and assistive devices, separate warranty rules can require repairs, replacement, or repurchase when defects persist after repair attempts.
If a seller or manufacturer refuses to comply, the law treats some refusals as deceptive trade practices, and other statutes provide specific remedies for persistent defects in vehicles or nonconforming assistive devices. Informal dispute-resolution procedures may also apply to written warranties under federal law governing consumer product warranties.

What Nevada law says
Nevada law generally requires a refund or replacement for defective or misrepresented goods when the consumer returns unused goods or makes a written request within 30 days after receiving the goods or any promised item, and the seller must issue the refund or replacement within 14 days after receiving the request, without charging a return fee, under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 599B.190 (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 599B.190). A seller's failure to make refunds or timely deliveries can be a deceptive trade practice under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 598.092 (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 598.092). For motor vehicles, if reasonable repair attempts fail and the defect substantially impairs use or value, the manufacturer must replace or repurchase the vehicle under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 597.630 (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 597.630); Nevada case law interprets those remedies and related issues like refunds of taxes in specific situations (see State, Department of Taxation v. Chrysler Group LLC (State, Department of Taxation v. Chrysler Group LLC, 2013)). For assistive devices covered by an express warranty, manufacturers or dealers must repair nonconformities reported and presented for repair before the warranty expires, even if repairs occur after warranty expiration, per Nev. Rev. Stat. § 597.2655 (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 597.2655). Federal law provides rules about informal dispute settlement procedures that may be made a prerequisite in written warranties, under 15 U.S.C. § 2310 (15 U.S.C. § 2310).
What to do
A common first step is to send a written request or demand for a refund or replacement, keeping a dated copy and using a tracked mailing method if possible.
A common next step is to return unused goods promptly and keep proof of shipment or delivery.
A common option is to document defect and repair attempts (photos, receipts, repair orders) to support a claim under vehicle or assistive-device warranty rules.
A common action is to review any written warranty for required informal dispute-settlement procedures and consider using them where available.
A common step is to check whether the seller’s conduct might be a deceptive trade practice and, if so, consider contacting the appropriate state enforcement agency or consumer protection office.

Common questions
How long do I have to ask for a refund or replacement?
For transactions governed by the solicitation chapter, a written request or return must generally be made within 30 days after receipt of the goods or any promised item, and the seller must issue the refund or replacement within 14 days after receiving the request, under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 599B.190 (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 599B.190).
Can a seller charge me to return defective goods?
Except for permitted prorations when only part of an order is returned, the seller generally may not impose any charge in connection with a return or request for refund or replacement under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 599B.190 (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 599B.190).
What if repairs do not fix my car?
If, after a reasonable number of attempts, a vehicle cannot be conformed to its express warranty and the defect substantially impairs use or value, the manufacturer must replace the vehicle or accept return and refund the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for use, under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 597.630 (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 597.630).
Are there special rules for assistive devices?
Yes. If an assistive device does not conform to an express manufacturer warranty and the consumer reports it and makes the device available for repair before the warranty expires, the manufacturer or dealer must perform needed repairs to conform the device to the warranty, per Nev. Rev. Stat. § 597.2655 (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 597.2655).
