Jeep Lemon Law

Experienced California Jeep Lemon Law Attorney

California has one of the most extensive lemon laws in the nation to ensure consumer protection. If it turns out that you have a Jeep lemon, your options are to force the manufacturer to…

• Replace your Jeep, or
• Repurchase your Jeep (lemon law buyback).

In some cases, Neale & Fhima, a trusted rear-end collision lawyer, may also be able to negotiate a cash settlement with the manufacturer where you are compensated for the defect and keep the vehicle you have. You don’t have to get stuck with a Jeep Cherokee, Renegade, Wrangler, or Compass that has defective brakes, steering, drivetrain, or any other flaws that cause safety issues or compromise the Jeep’s use or value. Hire a California Jeep lemon law attorney to get your claim started.

Determining Whether Your Jeep Is a “Lemon”

A “lemon” is any Jeep, whether a basic or deluxe edition, with a chronic defect requiring multiple repair appointments. Whether it’s poor traction, engine leaks, electrical malfunction, or any of a dozen other mechanical or electrical problems, these Jeeps never function properly, no matter how often you take them to the mechanic. To determine whether your Jeep is a lemon, check to see whether your new vehicle is still under the original manufacturer’s warranty. If it is, you probably have a viable Jeep lemon law claim. If you own a used vehicle, you will need one of three specific warranties listed below for a Jeep lemon law claim. Either way, you need to have made a “reasonable number of attempts” to get your Jeep repaired before filing a legal claim. Learn more: What to Do if You Have a Lemon.

The lemon law in California, also known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Civ. Code, § 1793.2 et seq.), stipulates that your Jeep must have “nonconformities,” which are defined as any defect or malfunction that is covered by the manufacturer’s original warranty. Nonconformities compromise the…

• Value
• Safety, and
• Use of the Jeep.

A skilled and experienced California Jeep lemon law attorney can explain the ins and outs of nonconformities in greater detail and help determine whether you have a legal remedy. At Neale & Fhima, we have a track record of success in fighting the big vehicle manufacturers to enforce the lemon law rights of people living in California.

Jeep Lemon Law FAQs

With so many years of experience, a Jeep lemon law attorney at Neale & Fhima hears some of the same questions over and over from potential clients. For your convenience, here are answers to some frequently asked questions.

What if a dealer knowingly misled me when I purchased my Jeep?

If a seller deliberately misrepresents a vehicle’s quality, you can pursue a dealer fraud case instead of a lemon law case. California strongly opposes car dealerships that knowingly deceive customers. You may have legal protection if you suspect odometer tampering, undisclosed defects, or other misleading tactics during a purchase. The California Department of Consumer Affairs and the FTC have established regulations to protect consumers from dealer fraud. For further guidance on your defective vehicle and legal options, consult a California Jeep lemon law lawyer at our office.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Jeep lemon law claim?

In California, you have up to four years to file a claim after realizing your vehicle is a lemon. You can still pursue a claim even if you’ve owned it for more than four years. Neale & Fhima’s California Jeep lemon law lawyers have successfully handled cases in which the vehicle was more than a decade old. Consulting a trusted lemon law lawyer can help clarify your rights and options. If you wait too long, a judge may dismiss your case, so gather your repair documents and contact a skilled California Jeep lemon law attorney today at 888-407-2955.

When should I consult a California Jeep lemon law attorney? 

You should consult a California Jeep lemon law attorney if you have purchased or leased a Jeep vehicle with recurring, unfixable defects and believe it may qualify as a lemon under California law.

What kind of evidence do I need for a lemon law case in California?

Evidence may include repair records, service invoices, correspondence with the manufacturer, and other relevant documents demonstrating the attempts to repair the vehicle’s defects.

Can I use the California lemon law if I bought a used Jeep?

The California lemon law applies to used vehicles if the manufacturer’s original warranty covers them or if they were sold with a certified pre-owned warranty.
