California Lemon Law Basics
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 1970. Known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, Lemon Law is often believed only to cover new purchased cars. In actual fact, it applies to new and used automobiles, bought or leased, as well as used cars, as long as they are sold with a factory warranty remaining. The cornerstone of the law is that the manufacturer of the product is responsible for honoring its express warranty on the asset. The item must qualify for it to be eligible for coverage under the Lemon Law. When you need a Toyota Land Cruiser lemon law attorney, Guardian Lemon Law should be your first call.
How Will I Be Compensated For Lemon Law Issues?
The positive resolution of your lemon lawsuit will, at a minimum, get you a replacement of the vehicle you are having issues with, or receive a refund for the purchase price of your vehicle. When we file your Toyota Land Cruiser electronic malfunctions lemon law lawsuit, the choice of compensation is yours.
If you choose the refund of the purchase price, or in effect a buyback of the automobile, you are entitled to the full cost, including title, fees, etc. The manufacturer will lower the offer for the miles you placed on the vehicle before the issues began, which resulted in the lawsuit. 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 things that we will pursue for damages are your out-of-pocket expenses. Things like lost income while dealing with the issue and taking the vehicle to Toyota to deal with, as well as any related expenses like towing costs, car rental fees, and similar. In California, the manufacturer is also responsible for the legal fees incurred by the customer, deemed reasonable.
How Do I Know If My Toyota Qualifies Under Lemon Law?
For any automobile to qualify as a lemon and be eligible for replacement or refund, there are some criteria that must be met.
- The vehicle cannot have been used improperly in any manner
- The vehicle is covered under the manufacturer’s new car warranty or certified pre-owned warranty
- A reasonable number of attempts to repair the issue with the car. This is defined as two attempts for a problem that could cause injury or death, four attempts for non-safety affecting defects, or there is a combined period of thirty days when the car is unavailable to you during repair efforts
- The defect that exists on the vehicle must be considered substantial, defined as impacting the use, safety, or value of the automobile to the owner
