There are specific ways to determine whether you have a “lemon.” California law defines a Kia lemon as an SUV, car or other vehicle that has had mechanical or electrical problems. Whether it is sluggish acceleration, an engine or transmission that malfunction, electrical problems or lots of other problems, these Kia vehicles don’t drive safely and reliably no matter how many times you may take them in for repairs. To determine whether you have a Kia lemon law claim, check to see whether your vehicle is still under the manufacturer’s warranty of if the repairs performed on the vehicle were done during the warranty period. If so, you probably have a claim. If you own a used vehicle, then you will need one of three specific warranties to have a Kia lemon law claim. These are discussed below.

The Kia Lemon Law stipulates there must be “nonconformities” present, which are defined as any defect or malfunction that is covered by the manufacturer’s original warranty or Certified Pre-Owned Warranty. Nonconformities compromise the use, value or safety of the Kia. The statute of limitations under Kia Lemon Law is four years from the date that you knew the defect arose. But if you’re going to file a Kia lemon law claim, the sooner the better. Start collecting copies of your repair bills, work orders, and call a Kia lemon law attorney right away. The longer you wait, the more frustrated you will get.
To prevail in a Kia Lemon Law claim, you will have to show that you made “reasonable attempts” to allow a mechanic to fix the problem, though the law is vague about exactly how many trips to the dealership constitute “reasonable attempts.” The California Lemon Law says you may have an eligible Kia in the following circumstances:

Yes, if you meet all the guidelines laid down in the California Lemon Law. You must have a car manufacturer’s warranty or one of three specific used car warranties; you must have made a reasonable number of attempts to get the car fixed; and you must prove that “nonconformities” exist in your Kia.
This may sound like a heady list, and it is if you’re not accustomed to dealing with the law. That’s where we can help. Leave it to our Kia lemon law attorneys to answer the question: Will Kia buy back my car? Don’t stay up nights trying to figure that out yourself.
The Kia lemon law states that Kia must offer lemon law buybacks for new cars if the manufacturer cannot repair a defect that has a substantial impact upon the …
Whether the Kia defect has a substantial impact upon these things is an objective test. This means that your personal opinion about the matter is not considered. For a defect to affect your Kia’s safety, the defect would need to be something that another reasonable person would think is unsafe.
For a used Kia to meet lemon law guidelines, you’ll need to possess one of these types of warranties:
1. Transferred New Car Warranty
2. Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Warranty
3. Lemon Law Buyback Warranty
A Kia lemon law attorney can explain these individual warranties and help you determine whether you have one. If you bought your used Kia “as is,” then you’re likely out of luck. “As is” means just that – as it is. There are no Kia lemon law protections when purchased “as is” unless you can prove there was fraud involved in the sales transaction.
There’s a four-year statute of limitation on Kia lemon law cases, so if your Kia is defective, don’t wait! Call Neale & Fhima today so we can determine whether you have a claim and get started on the paperwork if you do. If you feel like you’re the kind of person who doesn’t file lawsuits, remember this – you’re suing the manufacturer, not an individual person, and you’re simply asking Kia to stand behind its product.
