California Lemon Law – Your Investment And Its Protection
The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act was passed into law in the spring of 1971 with the intent of providing consumers with some protection when it came to warranty claims for items like homes, appliances, and automobiles. Some manufacturers were struggling to honor their express warranties, and though it was in writing, the average person had no way hold the manufacturer responsible for addressing an issue, let alone one that had no fix available. That law remains the foundation of what we call Lemon Law today in the State of California.
The law offered consumers support, with things like legal definitions of what a reasonable number of repair efforts to correct a problem looks like, versus an ambiguous definition that allowed the dealer to keep turning a wrench. It also has a much more defined Statute of Limitations than it did before. There are several qualifications that the automobile must meet for eligibility, but the rules and requirements around resolution are straightforward and easy to understand. More on the qualifications and the Statute of Limitations below, before we start looking to find you a lemon lawyer to sue Toyota for excessive wind noise.
The Basic Lemon Law Qualifications And Statute Of Limitations For Filing A Claim
There are a few things that Guardian Lemon Law will verify when we perform a case evaluation for you. The first one is validation that the vehicle and the issue qualify it for a Lemon Law claim. Guardian Lemon Law has a very good process for this. Our first step is to ensure your Toyota Camry meets the following three requirements:
- Your vehicle is still covered under the manufacturer’s new car warranty or a certified pre-owned warranty when the issue first occurred
- The issue named as the Lemon Law violation has not been caused by improper use or abuse of the vehicle
- The manufacturer or their representative has made a reasonable number of repair attempts to fix your vehicle. This is defined by law as a minimum of two attempts for any safety issues, or four attempts for anything that is not safety-related
- The next set of qualifications deals with the actual problem that is specific to your Camry, and the efforts made by your Toyota dealer to repair the problem. Only one of these is normally required for eligibility.
- The efforts for the specific issue have totaled more than 30 days in the repair shop, and are unavailable to you
- The defect being repaired affects the safety, use, or value of the vehicle for the owner
The Statute of Limitations is the defined time limit set for filing your claim or lawsuit. In California, the time limit to file a Toyota Camry excessive wind noise lemon law lawsuit is 1 year from the date of your warranty expiration, or a total of 6 years from the date you took delivery of the automobile. The date that applies is the earliest of the two. If you believe your Toyota Camry will qualify, please get in touch with Guardian Lemon Law to learn more about how we can sue Toyota for selling you a defective, lemon Toyota Camry.
Excessive Wind Noise Reports By Other Consumers For The 2015-2017 Toyota Camry
Owners of the Toyota Camry report a loud whistling or rushing air sound while driving at highway speed. This issue is generally attributable to the following:
- The most frequent cause is worn, flattened, or damaged rubber seals on the doors or windows that do not roll up all the way
- Misaligned doors will create gaps, which then need adjustment of the striker pin or the upper door frame to ensure a tighter seal that closes the gap
- The side-view mirrors or plastic trim pieces can create air vortex noises, sometimes requiring adjustment or aftermarket wind deflectors
If you are experiencing these problems and to date the dealership hasn’t been able to fix the issue, please contact Guardian Lemon Law regarding your Toyota Camry, and we can provide you with a Toyota Camry excessive wind noise lemon lawyer.
The Important Documentation To Have When Filing A Lemon Law Claim
The day you come to meet with your lawyer experienced in Toyota Camry lemon law cases, you should bring the documentation you have that will help confirm dates that influence the warranty, like your delivery date, the warranty itself for the vehicle, and copies of all the documentation you have received when your Toyota has been in for repairs. These include:
- The original purchase paperwork or purchase order for your Toyota Camry
- Your warranty-specific documentation, especially if your vehicle was used with a certified pre-owned factory warranty
- Any written or technical correspondence between you and the dealership or repair shop that relates to the known issue, ideally documenting the items they have tried, as well as the problems and errors you reported upon dropping the vehicle off initially. It should also detail the time periods for how many days your Toyota was out of service due to their repair efforts
The Resolutions Provided By California Lemon Law
There are two resolutions from a claim or lawsuit win, and it should be specified what you are pursuing in the case or claim that is filed. By law, you are entitled to either a buy back of your vehicle for what you paid, including taxes, title, and all fees, or a replacement of your Lemon Law vehicle, of similar value and the same make and model if available. The choice is up to you, whichever you prefer. If you select a refund or buy-back of the vehicle, you are only going to be charged an agreed upon mileage rate for the miles on the car when it first came in for the warranty repair of the door and window seals. There is always the possibility of a cash offer, where you might be able to keep the car and agree not to pursue other remedies as well.
