Buying or leasing a new car is supposed to be the best way to get a vehicle that is not going to cost you any money to keep it running. They have a warranty, and it is good for several years and many miles. However, not every new car runs perfectly. Sometimes there are issues that come up, and the manufacturer is responsible for getting them fixed. If they are unable to do so, you might be eligible to take advantage of the consumer protections offered by the California Lemon Law. Guardian Lemon Law can help you get that question answered, and more. Please get in touch with us so that we can schedule a review of your case as soon as possible.
Establishing that the vehicle will qualify for filing a lemon lawsuit is the first and most important thing we need to do. If it does qualify, then we can sue Volvo for selling you a defective, lemon Volvo V60. If you need to hire a lawyer experienced in Volvo V60 check engine light lemon law cases, you can call Guardian Lemon Law. We will be ready to help you get this issue resolved, even if it means we take Volvo to court to hold them accountable for the car they sold you.
The Lemon Law In California
The California Lemon Law was passed in 1970. Known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, it was written and became effective in early 1971 for the sole purpose of offering protection to consumers who were spending a lot of money on things like electronics, appliances, homes, and, of course, automobiles. There have been some changes over the years to improve the protection, but what it continues to do is hold the manufacturer liable for the products they make and sell. There is a qualification standard for the vehicle to be eligible for coverage under the Lemon Law. When you need a Volvo V60 lemon law attorney to help you verify that it does qualify, do not hesitate to contact Guardian Lemon Law. We will be ready to take your call.
The 2021-2023 Volvo V60 Check Engine Light Fault
Like most automobiles today, the check engine light is a key indicator that the engine isn’t running correctly. What it really does is serve as a warning to the driver that some other system or monitoring equipment isn’t behaving correctly. Based on the available data, the most common issue found and replaced is one of the O2 sensors located in the exhaust system. When the sensor is not operating correctly, the oxygen to fuel ratio may be off.
There are several other issues that the check engine light coming on might indicate as well. Only a scanner that can access the codes will be able to do a complete diagnosis. They are:
- The gas cap is not on, or tightened sufficiently
- Issues with your catalytic converter
- The car battery may be losing charge
- Issues with your spark plugs or ignition system
- The mass air sensor (MAF) may not be working correctly
If this issue has plagued your Volvo and the dealer cannot seem to fix it, you might need to file a Volvo V60 defective O2 Sensors/Exhaust System lemon lawsuit for remedy. Guardian Lemon Law is ready to represent you and take on Volvo to get this resolved.
Is My Volvo Eligible Under The Lemon Law For Replacement Or Refund?
There are several items that need to be present or met before an automobile is eligible for buyback or replacement from the manufacturer.
- Your vehicle is still covered under the manufacturer’s new car warranty or a certified pre-owned warranty
- There have been a reasonable number of attempts to repair the issue with the car. What defines reasonable is often the subject of debate, but at minimum, there have been two attempts for serious safety issues, and at least four attempts for any defect that is not safety related
- The defect being repaired is the same one, and it is impacting the safety, use, or value of the vehicle
We recommend you contact Guardian Lemon Law immediately. We can help you validate the qualification of the vehicle and provide you with a lemon lawyer to sue Volvo for the check engine light if they cannot get it repaired.
Filing Your Lemon Lawsuit
When it is time to file your lawsuit, the most important thing you should do is hire a lawyer. The next step is to gather the paperwork that documents the entire ownership experience. It will be needed when it comes to justifying the damages your Volvo V60 check engine light lemon lawyer is going to sue Volvo for. The list of documentation below will serve as proof, as well as help determine the additional damage amount that should be covered.
- The original documentation for your car purchase and any warranty details
- The records for all the repair visits, with dates and times for drop off and pickup
- All email documentation regarding the repair efforts for your automobile
- All out-of-pocket receipts for expenses centered around the repair efforts, including vehicle rentals, missed work, and similar expenses
- The documentation will be the foundation of your lemon law claim, as well as the proof of the effort made by you to get the vehicle repairs done.
The Options When You Win Your Lemon Lawsuit
When Guardian Lemon Law wins your Volvo V60 check engine light lemon law lawsuit, you are either going to get a full refund for the vehicle or you are going to receive a new vehicle that is equal to the price of the Volvo V60, or is the same model that you purchased. The choice is up to you.
If you should opt for a buyback of the vehicle, you will receive the full cost, including taxes and title fees, minus only the cost deducted for the miles you placed on the V60 before your first trip to the dealer to begin repairs on the recurring issue. You will also receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses. In California, the manufacturer is also responsible for all of your legal fees.
How Long Do We Have To Sue Volvo?
The time limit, which is set by the Statute of Limitations in the State of California, for filing a Volvo V60 Check Engine Light lemon lawsuit is four years. It begins on the date the issue occurs. There have been some recent changes in the law that allow the manufacturer to restrict the statute time limit to either one year from expiration of the original vehicle warranty, or to six years from the original date of delivery to you. As always, we will determine the time limit during the original case evaluation.
