When you purchase or lease a new vehicle, you don’t expect to encounter any significant repair issues or hassles anytime soon. One of the reasons often quoted by car buyers for the new car purchase is to avoid repair and ongoing costs and the time it takes to resolve these kinds of problems. So, it is very frustrating to purchase a new 2017 to 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost and begin to discover water in your cabin. Even if the repairs are covered by your new car warranty, you still face the time and inconvenience of trips to the dealership and not having your new vehicle to drive for periods of time. The next alarming thing is to experience a repeated repair within a short period of time. If this sounds like your experience with your new Ghost, you should consider making the time to sit with a Guardian Lemon Law lawyer to review your experiences, and to possibly sue Rolls-Royce for water leaks if the manufacturer is not taking care of you and your vehicle. We can sue Rolls-Royce for selling you a defective, lemon Rolls-Royce Ghost.
If your vehicle and issue qualify under California Lemon Law, we will get you introduced to a lawyer experienced in Rolls-Royce Ghost water leaks lemon law cases. At Guardian Lemon Law, we will do whatever it takes to get you compensated for the experience you have had with your Rolls-Royce Ghost.
The California Lemon Law
The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act was passed into law in 1970 by the California legislature. This law remains the foundation for today’s California Lemon Law. Its purpose is to provide protection to consumers who make purchases of items that turn out to be defective. Recently, the cases filed annually in California have dramatically increased, with over 25,000 in 2024, which is an increase of 15,000 in 2020 and 2021. To qualify for the lemon law, there are some key criteria that must be met. First are the qualifications for the vehicle and issue. Second, you must be within the Statute of Limitations for filing a claim.
When you need a Rolls-Royce Ghost lemon law attorney to help you confirm your vehicle qualifies, please reach out to Guardian Lemon Law.
What Are The Qualifications For Lemon Law Claims For A Vehicle?
The qualifications are pretty straightforward for lemon law issues. The basis of the law states that the manufacturer has a limited number of tries to fix an issue before it will qualify as eligible for consideration under the lemon law for buy back or replacement. In that same thought, however, they must be afforded the opportunities to make that repair effort. The qualifications your vehicle and the issue need to meet are:
- The issue related to the lemon claim cannot be caused by vehicle misuse, abuse, or neglect
- The vehicle must be covered under the manufacturer’s new car warranty or a certified pre-owned warranty when the issue is initially reported, and throughout all repair efforts.
- The required repair attempts are defined as two attempts for any safety-related issues and four attempts for an issue that is not safety-related.
- The vehicle is unavailable or unusable for the owner for more than 30 days total while being repaired for the issue
- The vehicle issue impacts the safety, use, or value of the vehicle to the owner
Guardian Lemon Law is here to assist you with vehicle qualification assessments. We can also provide you with a lemon lawyer to sue Rolls-Royce for water leaks if the manufacturer is unwilling to continue repair efforts or to offer you a remedy.
The last thing to verify is if your vehicle is within the Statute of Limitations. This was recently updated in 2025.
California Lemon Law Statute Of Limitations
There is a time limit in California for filing a lemon lawsuit or claim. The 2025 update to the Lemon Law establishes new time limits based on the purchase and delivery of your vehicle. The first expiration date is one year from the expiration of the manufacturer’s original warranty. The second date is six years from the vehicle’s original delivery date to you. Guardian Lemon Law will establish the date that applies to your claim during your case evaluation, though generally it’s the earliest of the two dates.
Issues With The 2017-2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost Cabin Water Leaks
The issues reported by many 2020–2023 Rolls-Royce Ghost owners are that there is a persistent water leak in the cabin area, with the potential for sunroof drains, cowl drains, and AC drains to be blamed. In most cases, it is covered by Rolls-Royce under warranty if the identified leak point is resealed. Leaks into the front passenger footwell often come from a clogged AC drain. Another drain centric leak can come from heavy rain or a car wash. Early models gave indications of poorly installed and aligned panels and seals/weather stripping that were not providing coverage in the gaps they were installed in, as well.
The recommended repairs for this water inside the cabin issue are:
- Conducting all drain inspections and cleaning them out with a front seat leak or cabin area leak
- Inspect the door and window seals to ensure they are not aging and failing due to dry rot
- Inspect the sunroof seals if applicable to ensure they are working as designed and not warped or cracked, and allowing moisture to enter
If you are experiencing this issue with your Rolls-Royce Ghost, document all the efforts to repair it. We can provide you with a Rolls-Royce Ghost water leaks lemon lawyer to evaluate the vehicle and issues while also representing you to get Rolls-Royce interested in resolving this.
Filing A Lemon Lawsuit To Collect
Vehicle owners do not have to file a lawsuit to take advantage of the Lemon Law in California. You can seek arbitration to work with Rolls-Royce before bringing a suit or claim. If the manufacturer will not respond, then it may be time to take legal action. The documentation you provide to Guardian Lemon Law should contain the following:
- All of the original purchase documentation, including all warranty details
- All records for repair visits, with dates and times for drop off and pickup, to illustrate the lack of use/availability of the vehicle, limited to the issue referred to in the Lemon Law claim
- Any email communication with the manufacturer or dealership during repair efforts that outlines the issue
- Proof of any out-of-pocket expenses related to the vehicle and its issue
If Rolls-Royce is not making an effort to work with you to resolve your vehicle issue, it may be time to bring a Rolls-Royce Ghost water leaks lemon law lawsuit up in the next meeting with Rolls-Royce.
What Does Winning A Lemon Law Claim look like?
There are typically two options to resolve a lemon vehicle claim or case. One is replacement, an identical model or one of similar value. The second option is a buy back from the manufacturer. Your choice will be documented in the Rolls-Royce Ghost defective door/window seals/sunroof lemon lawsuit filed on your behalf by Guardian Lemon Law.
If you choose the vehicle buyback, you will receive the full cost of the vehicle, including all taxes and fees paid, less the cost deducted for miles you put on your Ghost before beginning repairs on the recurring issue. The manufacturer will also pay the reasonable cost of your legal representation when we win your claim.
