How a Lemon Law Attorney in California Can Help You

When you purchase a new vehicle, you expect it to be highly reliable. After all, the car has zero or just a few miles on it, and it should come from the factory in near-perfect condition. While this is usually true, there are exceptions. Sometimes vehicle owners in Chino Hills discover that even their brand new car has serious reliability problems. If you are constantly taking the car in for service for a serious safety or reliability issue, you could be entitled to compensation under the California lemon law.

The law states that car dealers and auto manufacturers have to repair your car as long as the factory warranty is in effect. The law notes that the dealer and/or manufacturer must make a certain number of attempts to fix the car. If the car cannot be repaired, then you could be entitled to a new car or to have your current one repurchased.

However, making a lemon law claim is not as easy as it sounds. The dealer and manufacturer do not want to take back a car with problems, because it is a financial loss for them and is very difficult to resell at a profitable price. But the law states that the car can be declared a lemon if the following statements are true:

  • The car dealer had at least two opportunities to fix a serious mechanical problem that affects the vehicle’s value and/or safety. A good example is if the antilock brakes do not engage in an emergency stop. This is a very serious safety problem that could qualify under the lemon law.
  • You brought your car in for repairs to the dealership at least four times to repair the same flaw.
  • Your car has sat on the dealership lot for at least 30 days since you bought it.

How to Prepare a Lemon Law Claim

Do you think that you have a lemon? First, you should check for certain that your factory warranty is in effect. Most warranties are good for three years or 36,000 miles, but some vehicles may have different warranties. Second, did you take the car into the dealership often enough to give them a chance to fix it? The Chino Hills dealer may contend that you did not give them ample chances to repair it.

If the vehicle is under warranty and you did take it in at least twice to repair the same problem, it could be a lemon. If you want to file a claim, you will need to do it in writing and send the letter to the auto manufacturer.

Make sure that you have a lot of documentation of all the service that was done on the car. Once you have collected this information, we recommend that you hire a lemon law attorney to handle the claim for you; their experience is invaluable in getting you as much compensation as possible.
