The California Lemon Law is often seen as an abused law by manufacturers when it comes to people making claims. There are no absolutes when it comes to human behavior, though the word abuse is often a default claim before the rhetoric is challenged, and everyone engaged starts to call down and work together towards a solution. Another thing that is associated with Lemon Law claims is that the focus on warranty repairs for a vehicle and the mention of Lemon Law sets the expectation that the issue or defect is in a new vehicle. The fact is that for almost 40 years, Lemon Law has applied to used cars as well as new, but only if they had a balance of factory warranty included in their purchase.
Historically speaking, some recurring issues experienced by a manufacturer can lead to recalls for common issues like a faulty part or bad software. There are other times when it is easier to deal with the problem when the vehicles are brought in by their owners. Some people refuse to buy a new car until that model has been available for purchase for two or more years. This is justified by letting other people get all the bugs and issues reported in, and by having the manufacturer and dealers figure out how to get the repairs done right the 1st time on those cars, and, more importantly, on the following year’s cars that leave the factory already fixed.
When it comes to Lemon Law claims, the reality is that issues will occur at random points in the ownership or lease of a vehicle. Issues may not be resolved until the 3rd model year if it’s systemic. If it isn’t, then waiting will not change a thing. If you have an issue with your Volkswagen Alltrack and it feels like the car is out of gas, you are going to call your VW dealer to get it scheduled in for repairs.

The California Lemon Law History And Evolution
California Lemon Law was signed into law in the spring of 1971. Its express purpose is to provide consumers with protection of their warranty rights when dealing with manufacturers and their warranties. The law has evolved with two significant updates since that time.
Starting with the original bill, known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, it required the manufacturers to repair their products that weren’t meeting the express warranty offered, including automobiles. The first major update was the Tanner Consumer Protection Act, which took place in 1983. It provided language establishing legal definitions on what the original bill called “a reasonable attempt to repair”. It also added a time limit of 30 days in repair efforts as a qualification for the Lemon Law. The final change was the addition of used vehicles with existing factory warranty time periods remaining.
The second change took place with amendments AB1755 and SB 26, which were focused on procedural changes designed to alleviate court backups on Lemon Law hearings, and expanding on the resolution of claims. It also changed the Statute of Limitations for filing a Lemon Law claim. The new time limit is now 1 year after the factory warranty expiration date, or 6 years from the date of vehicle delivery, whichever happens first on the calendar. Guardian Lemon Law will review your case with a Volkswagen Alltrack lemon law attorney to ensure that the claim is eligible under the new Statute of Limitations and the vehicle is qualified under Lemon Law.
What Are The Eligibility Requirements For California Lemon Law?
The list of things for vehicle qualification under Lemon Law claims is listed below. They are simple and apply to every claim.
- Your vehicle remains covered under the manufacturer’s new car warranty or a certified pre-owned warranty for the duration of the repair attempts
- The issue named as the Lemon Law violation cannot be caused by the owner trying to improperly use or abuse the vehicle
- The efforts to repair the specific issue total more than 30 days in the shop and are unavailable to you
- The dealer has been given a reasonable number of attempts to repair the issue with the car, with reasonable being equal to at least two attempts for issues with significant safety issues, and at least four attempts for any defect that is not safety-related
- The defect being repaired impacts the use, safety, or value of your vehicle

The 2017-2020 Volkswagen Alltrack poor acceleration And Customer Experiences
This is the most commonly reported issue with this known issue, which starts with what many call a sluggish response or a delayed throttle response.
There are a great many things that cause any vehicle using an internal combustion engine to behave this way. That in itself is part of the problem for an issue like this. Issues like contaminated fuel, engine timing, spark plugs being fouled, or even just cabling to a plug that has come loose can all cause similar behavior.
The most common of the uncommon for this reported behavior have been reduced to three culprits. It is usually either the mass airflow sensor, the transmission, or the fuel injectors that feed the engine its fuel. The mix of fuel and air is essential, as is the amount of fuel the system is using versus what it actually uses. If this mix is off, performance is affected, leading to hesitation and inconsistent acceleration. There may be more components to blame as well. Any dirty components, any software glitches, and the aforementioned fuel contamination will exhibit themselves in a similar way, though it’s not as consistent as the more common issues. This is an essential factor to consider when telling your service advisor at the dealership what the vehicle is doing or not doing.
