The Riverside lemon law attorneys at Wirtz Law APC have highlighted the lemon law problem that vehicle owners face and outlined common types of vehicle defects in California.
Five automakers face more lemon law claims than others in California. These are General Motors, Jaguar Land Rover, Fiat Chrysler, Nissan, and Ford Motor Company.
A lemon law claim can only be brought if:
• The vehicle was purchased or leased in California. The owner is a private individual or a small business to which the lemon law applies.
• The manufacturer’s warranty applies to the defect.
• The defect substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety.
• The defect was not repaired by the manufacturer within a reasonable number of attempts.
Common types of vehicle defects in California include:
• Jerking, severe vibrations, and shuddering in idle
• Difficulty shifting and hesitation or lurching as the vehicle shifted gears
• Random shut-offs or loss of power
• Problems with doors or rear hatches
