Trucks
Is My Truck Covered by the Lemon Law in Los Angeles?
A Compassionate & Experienced Lemon Law Firm
California Lemon Law is designed to protect you and ensure your safety. A defective vehicle, whether a car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, utility vehicle, or RV, is known as a lemon. If your vehicle is under warranty and has defects that are not repairable after multiple attempts, federal and state lemon laws can help. You have the right to file a claim under the Lemon Law in California.
When you purchase a truck and it is under warranty, you have reason to expect that it performs as promised. If your truck is malfunctioning and you have alerted the manufacturer or dealer, the responsible party should respond to claims of defects in a reasonable amount of time, offering to repair or even replace your vehicle. This is not always the case, and manufacturers often violate consumers’ rights.
If your used or new truck is constantly in need of repairs or the manufacturer has failed to live up to its warranty, you may have a lemon on your hands. At Sage Law Group, LLP, our truck lemon law attorneys represent clients like you in claims involving defective trucks. Sage Law Group is well-acquainted with these cases and provides comprehensive legal assistance. Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if you own a lemon vehicle, you are entitled to a replacement or refund. To qualify, your vehicle must meet California’s legal guidelines for lemons, and proving this requires legal expertise.
What Makes a Truck a Lemon?
Many things can go wrong with a vehicle. While it is normal to have to take your truck to a mechanic occasionally, it is unreasonable to have to deal with a truck that is a lemon – especially if the problem poses a threat to your safety.
A few examples of vehicle defects that could qualify your truck as a lemon include:
- Steering pull
- Power steering loss
- Brake pedal failure
- Electrical problems
- AC mold
- Airbag defects
- Defective seat belts
- Premature brake/rotor wear
If you are constantly having your truck repaired only to find that the issue persists, we can help. We work hard to examine all of the details of your situation, including paperwork showing that you have had your truck repaired more than once. Our firm is familiar with the Lemon Law process and can help you seek the compensation you deserve.
You can choose between two remedy options:
A-Repurchase
If you opt for repurchase, the manufacturer will take possession of the vehicle and issue a refund for the purchase price. If you financed your vehicle, the manufacturer will refund your payments, including the down payment, pay off the loan, and refund taxes and registration fees.
B-Replacement
If you choose replacement, the manufacturer will provide a new vehicle and take possession of the old one. The manufacturer will cover the registration fees and taxes for the new vehicle. No refunds or financial charges paid on the original vehicle will be provided. Both parties must consent to this option.
The Right Team for the Job
In California and many other states, Lemon Law requires that manufacturers back their warranties by fixing defects within a reasonable amount of time and within a reasonable number of attempts. If they have failed to do so, you have likely lost faith in the vehicle’s safety and reliability, as well as the dealer’s ability to fix it. This could be grounds for a claim, and Sage Law Group, LLP is the team to help you seek justice. Our Los Angeles defective truck lawyers are well-versed in the law and can help you with your case. We keep our clients informed about their claims throughout the process, and our services are fast and free.
