What Is California Lemon Law?
What is commonly referred to as the Lemon Law in California actually refers to a bill that was passed into law by the California legislature in 1971. Known originally as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, the Lemon Law is often thought to only cover newly purchased cars. In actual fact, it applies to new and used automobiles, bought or leased, with the used cars coming with the remains of a factory warranty. The focal point of the law is that it holds the manufacturers of a product responsible for replacement or buyback after the manufacturer has made a number of separate attempts at repairing the issue. In other words, honoring the express warranty for the item.

The Specific Symptoms, Issues, And Defects on your 2016-2019 Volkswagen e-Golf
Let’s start off by saying that batteries die unexpectedly in cars often. On an EV, however, this is a much bigger deal, and Volkswagen treats it that way. When you consider how large the battery system is, for it to shut down with a real issue is also a serious issue. You will hear the issue referred to as glitches in the electrical system, or a drained battery, but in troubleshooting this issue, the original finding was an unintentionally sensitive battery monitoring system that was shutting the battery down when it detected something in the system going on. The error was that what it detected was not in fact a critical fault, but was something that did not need a shutdown as a response.
The repair for the issue was a software update, which re-classified the surge or spike event as non-critical and averted the monitor system shutdown decision. If you have had the recall done, and you are still experiencing issues, then please contact Guardian Lemon Law. If you need to file a Volkswagen e-Golf defective electrical system/charging module lemon lawsuit, please don’t hesitate to contact Guardian Lemon Law.
