California Lemon Law Basics
What is referred to as the Lemon Law in California is more accurately a bill that was passed into law by the California legislature in 1971. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, as it was known at that point, is now commonly called the Lemon Law. Many consumers believe it is only meant to cover new cars. The law actually applies to new and used automobiles that were bought or leased, as long as they are sold with a factory warranty remaining. The primary focal point of the law is that it holds the manufacturer of the product responsible for honoring their express warranty on the item they have built and sold. Any item you are trying to have deemed a lemon must qualify by meeting the eligibility requirements for coverage under the Lemon Law. When you need a Nissan Juke lemon law attorney, Guardian Lemon Law should be your first call. We bring decades of combined experience and expertise in resolving lemon law issues to each claim we handle.
How Will I Be Compensated For My Lemon Law Vehicle?
When you hire Guardian Lemon Law, and we win your lawsuit for a Nissan Juke, you will at least receive a replacement of the vehicle you are having issues with, or get a refund for the purchase price of your vehicle. When we file your Nissan Juke electrical system fuse blows lemon law lawsuit, the choice of which compensation is awarded to you is yours.
If you choose the refund of the purchase price, or what most people call a buyback of the automobile, you are entitled to the full cost you paid for the vehicle, including the cost for the title, fees, etc. The manufacturer will reduce the offer for the miles you placed on the vehicle before the issues began, which resulted in the lawsuit. This is similar to paying for the mileage you put on a rental car. If you choose to have the vehicle replaced, the unit must be the same model or financially equitable to the model they are taking back.
The other items that we will pursue as part of the damages are any out-of-pocket expenses. Things like lost income while handling the issues and taking the vehicle to Nissan to deal with, as well as any related expenses like towing, car rental fees, or ride share expenses when you did not have the car. In California, the manufacturer is also responsible for the legal fees incurred by the customer that the court deems to be reasonable when we win your case.
How Do I Know If My Nissan Qualifies Under Lemon Law?
For any vehicle to qualify as a lemon and be eligible for replacement or refund, there are a few criteria that must be met. Determination of qualification is part of the case evaluation that we perform once you hire Guardian Lemon Law.
- Your Nissan cannot have been used improperly or abused in any manner
- The vehicle must remain covered under the manufacturer’s new car warranty or certified pre-owned warranty
- You have been allowed a reasonable number of attempts to repair the issue with your Juke. This is defined as two attempts for a safety issue and four attempts for a non-safety-related defect.
- The car was unavailable for use because of the lemon issue for a total aggregate of 30 days
- The defect that exists on the vehicle must be considered substantial, meaning it impacts the use, safety, or value
Guardian Lemon Law will provide you with a lemon lawyer to sue Nissan for electrical system fuse blows in your car when the manufacturer cannot get it repaired. The final item to check is the Statute of Limitations for filing a claim or case.
What Is The Time Limit To File A Lemon Lawsuit Or Claim In California?
The Statute of Limitations in California for filing a Nissan Juke defective electrical system lawsuit or Lemon Law claim, as of 2025, has two different targets. The first date will be one year from the expiration of your original factory warranty. The second date is six years from the date you took delivery of your vehicle from the dealer. The earliest of the two dates is going to be the time limit to file your claim or lawsuit. We encourage you to reach out to Guardian Lemon Law today to have a case review completed so that you know exactly how much time you have to make a decision.
The Specific Issues And Defects On The 2015-2017 Nissan Juke By Owners
A high frequency of fuse blows and power loss in your 2015-2017 Nissan Juke are most often caused by a shorted vehicle component like an ignition coil, some corrosion inside the main fuse block, a faulty main battery fuse link, or a chafed wiring harness grounding against the chassis. The details on those areas and issues are:
- The main positive battery fuse block, typically located on top of the battery, is a well-known trouble area. There may be loose nuts, some corroded wires, or a physically melted fuse terminal that will lead to high resistance and sudden power cuts in the system
- The Juke’s IPDM (intelligent power distribution module) manages the parsing of power to the different systems. There have been cases of moisture intrusion or internal relay/circuit board degradation that led to power loss across other modules
- When a specific fuse blows repeatedly, it is usually because a component drawing power from that fuse is grounding out or shorting. Vibration will cause engine or body wiring harnesses to rub against sharp metal brackets or edges, wearing away insulation and causing a short-to-ground
The respective fixes for the common issues are not difficult, though the bigger challenge is locating the cause and ensuring that it doesn’t recur. This is where the challenge usually comes in for the manufacturer or dealer, getting the issue permanently addressed. When you need a Nissan Juke defective fuse box/wiring lemon lawsuit filed, Guardian Lemon Law is a phone call away.
