Affected Years: 2020, 2021, 2022 Volvo S90. Our law firm is also investigating 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 Volvo S90 for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the Sunroof Frame/Mechanism.
If you are like most vehicle owners, you listen to your vehicle. People laugh when they think about this, but it is true. What you are really doing, though, is hearing new sounds that it is making. Sometimes they are transient and caused by differences in the road surface. You might even hear something odd because you forgot to turn on the radio, or you aren’t listening to a podcast like normal. Regardless of what you are suddenly noticing as a new sound, now you have to figure out what it is. One of two things happens next. If your vehicle is new and has a warranty, then it is off to the dealer to find out what is wrong. You might be a do-it-yourself kind of person, so you start to search the internet. This is when you learn that if you own a Volvo S90 and bought the panoramic roof option, other people are dealing with the rattle you have been listening to all the way to the office.
You need to have it fixed. The noise is annoying, and you paid a lot of money for the SUV, and with this kind of roof, your car insurance is likely higher. After four visits to the dealer and the rattle keeps coming back, you wonder if this kind of issue might be considered a lemon law eligible defect. You begin searching for a Volvo S90 lemon law attorney. Please call Guardian Lemon Law when you experience an issue with your vehicle that the dealer cannot repair. If a case review confirms that your issue does qualify for a lemon law claim, Guardian Lemon Law will file a Volvo S90 defective sunroof frame/mechanism lemon lawsuit for you, and get your vehicle replaced or have the price refunded to you.
The History Of Lemon Law And How It Works
In March of 1971, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act became law. It has remained the foundation for California Lemon Law since then. The California Lemon Law exists to provide consumer protection against faulty manufactured goods and requires some level of recourse or remedy from the manufacturer beyond continued attempts to fix the fault. Many people aren’t aware that the lemon law applies to most consumer products that come with a warranty. The warranty and the manufacturer or its representative must make a reasonable attempt to repair the issue, and have been unable to do so. When you start to wonder if your vehicle qualifies as eligible for a lemon law claim, Guardian Lemon Law can provide you with a Volvo S90 panoramic roof rattle lemon lawyer. The first step is to validate your vehicle meets the requirements and qualifies for a lemon law claim. If Volvo isn’t responding to your claim, the next step is to have Guardian Lemon Law contact them and prepare to file a Volvo S90 panoramic roof rattle lemon law lawsuit.
The 2020-2022 Volvo S90 Panoramic Roof Rattle Symptoms And Causes
In this case, the symptom is the issue. The persistent rattling noise and squeaking are present, often regardless of the road surface that is being driven on. One of the challenges in a repair like this is making sure that it does not recur. There are times when that will happen, in part because a defect is one of design versus product material.
The causes we see documented by Volvo, as well as the Volvo S90 customers, show that there are several different reasons at the root of the rattling problem. They range from improper alignment on the frame, loose mounting screws, debris in the tracks, and rods in the screen that can create the rattling noise. Guardian Lemon Law is ready to provide you with a lemon lawyer to sue Volvo S90 panoramic roof rattle when Volvo is unwilling or unable to fix the roof. The only other item that might impact this is the time limit set by the California Statute of Limitations.
The Time Limit To File A Lawsuit For A Faulty Vehicle Under California Lemon Law
The time limit, as set by California law, is 4 years from the date of the issue happening the first time. Some changes in the law set the time limit to one year from the expiration of the original vehicle express warranty, or six years from the original date of delivery to you after purchase. Guardian Lemon Law will verify the time limit that applies during the case evaluation so that the lawsuit is filed before the time limit expires.
If You Are Making A Lemon Law Claim, Do You Have To File A Lawsuit?
If your vehicle and the issues you have with it qualify it for a lemon law claim, you do not have to file a lawsuit as part of the process. Some manufacturers will work with you to provide solutions, including the remedies detailed under the law. If the manufacturer does offer you a solution, Guardian Lemon Law will counsel you to have the documents you are signing reviewed by a lawyer.
You can also pursue arbitration with the manufacturer. This can also be done successfully, but typically with legal representation involved and some negotiation taking place. They want to give you slightly less than the law requires, and will hope that you aren’t willing to spend the time it takes to go to court.
What Are The Qualifications For A Vehicle Lemon Law Claim?
The qualifications for vehicle eligibility are standard across all makes, models, and issues. The actual issue is not pertinent except insofar as it affects the number of efforts the manufacturer must make for it to be considered reasonable. The first two items listed below are both required for eligibility. The final three focus on the attempts at repair and the effect of the failure to address the problem with a permanent solution. Only one of them needs to be met for consideration.
- The vehicle cannot be abused in a way that can be shown to contribute to or cause the issue
- The vehicle is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty
- Reasonable repair attempts have taken place by a service representative of the manufacturer. At least two attempts for issues that are safety related, and four attempts for non-safety related issues must be performed
- The vehicle is in the shop for repair of the same issue for longer than 30 days in total across all visits. Other issues or maintenance cannot be counted
- The issue is impacting either the safety, the actual use, or the value of your vehicle
Guardian Lemon Law will perform a case review for you to determine the vehicle status for a lemon law claim. We will also be ready to give you a lawyer experienced in Volvo for panoramic roof rattle lemon law cases if you decide to file legal action.
If I Want To File A Lawsuit, What Will I Need To Have Available For Documentation?
You should have the following pieces of documentation:
- Original documentation regarding your vehicle purchase, to include any warranty details provided if the vehicle was used, but came with a pre-owned certified warranty from the manufacturer only
- All records for the repair visits for the specific issue you are claiming, including the dates and times for drop off and pickup, to establish the 30-day minimum for the dealer having the vehicle
- Email documentation showing anything that was communicated while repair efforts were taking place
