There are a few different types of inventions in human history. The first kind comes and goes, often described as a solution ahead of its time. The second type is the kind of thing that is so valuable that we never stop trying to improve it. The 3rd type is similar to the backup cameras on our vehicles. An invention so valuable and useful that you just cannot imagine how we ever got along without it, and people are so accustomed to having it now that it has become a fixture on every vehicle made. Our cameras today are a key safety feature, and one that we rely on for safely operating the vehicle in places like parking lots and home driveways. Cars are full of features that, if they stop working, do not make you rush to the dealer to get them fixed. The backup camera system is the opposite. It is a priority to have it fixed. If the camera system continues to fail, you keep taking it back to be repaired. This kind of item can be considered a lemon law eligible defect, and you begin the process by searching for a Volvo XC90 lemon law attorney. Contact Guardian Lemon Law when this happens to you. If a case review confirms that your claim does qualify for a lemon law claim, Guardian Lemon Law can file a Volvo XC90 defective Backup Camera System lemon lawsuit for you and get your vehicle replaced or refunded.
What Is Lemon Law And Why Do We Have It?
California Lemon Law was created with the purpose of providing consumer protection and recourse/remedy when people spent their hard-earned money on an expensive item and it didn’t work. Homes, vehicles, and appliances headline this list in 1970. In March of 1971, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act was signed into law. It became the foundation for the California Lemon Law. Since then, it has been updated as needed. For your vehicle to qualify as eligible for a lemon law claim, there are a few key conditions that are required to be present. Guardian Lemon Law can provide a Volvo XC90 rear camera malfunction lawyer to help you verify that your vehicle meets the conditions and offers the ability to file suit if Volvo isn’t responding to the claim. If you want to know if your vehicle is eligible, please call us at Guardian Lemon Law.
The 2020-2022 Volvo XC90 defective backup camera system Issues
The primary issue reported by Volvo owners is that the images on the screen, when working, are blurry and useless when identifying if it is safe to back the vehicle up. Sometimes the screen is just black, showing nothing at all. While you still have mirrors to enable you to back up slowly, they don’t permit you to see the area directly behind the bumper, nor do they give you the field of view (FOV) the camera provides if you have other vehicles parked next to you. If those other vehicles are vans or large pickup trucks, you have no visibility at all.
The causes reported by Volvo and their customers indicate that there are a few different causes of the issue. The primary one is a faulty bit of software that takes the camera out of service. Faulty wiring and camera modules are the other reported causes.
Guardian Lemon Law is ready to provide you with a lemon lawyer to sue Volvo for rear camera malfunction if Volvo is unable or unwilling to repair this and make it reliable.
The Qualifications For Lemon Law Claims Involving Vehicles
The qualifications listed below are easy to understand. The key takeaway that is often overlooked isn’t the total number of times the vehicle is in for a repair. To qualify for a lemon law claim, the vehicle must have been repaired for the same exact issue, and without resolution. The underlying foundation of lemon law says that if a repair is not successful after a reasonable effort to fix the problem, then it qualifies as eligible for consideration under lemon law. The remedy is either a buy-back or a replacement of the vehicle.
The qualifications are:
- The vehicle should not be abused in a way that could be contributing to the issue
- The vehicle remains under the manufacturer’s warranty
- Reasonable repair attempts have been made to repair the issue. A minimum of 2 attempts for safety related items, and four attempts for non-safety related ones
- The vehicle is in the shop for the same reported issue longer than 30 days, cumulative time
- The issue affects the safety, actual use, or the value of the vehicle
Guardian Lemon Law can assist you in determining the status of the vehicle and lemon law qualification. We can also provide you with a lawyer experienced in Volvo XC90 rear camera malfunction lemon law cases if you decide to file a lawsuit.
What Is The Time Limit For Bringing A Lawsuit For A Lemon Law Vehicle?
The time limit is 4 years to file a lemon lawsuit begins on the date that you took the vehicle in for the first repair effort. Some recent changes in the law allow the manufacturer to set the time limit to either one year from the expiration of the original vehicle warranty or six years from the original date of delivery to you. Guardian Lemon Law can determine the time limit that applies so that the lawsuit is filed in time.
Is Filing A Lawsuit A Requirement When Claiming A Lemon Law Issue?
No, filing suit and hiring an attorney is not a requirement. If the manufacturer is willing to work with you to offer a solution, you may not have to hire legal representation. You can also pursue arbitration with the manufacturer. There are times when this works successfully, but most of the time, it requires legal representation and negotiation. We will always recommend that you have a legal professional review any legal documents that the manufacturer might ask you to sign when settling a claim.
What Documents Will I Need If I Want To File A Lemon Lawsuit?
Your documentation requirements should have the following:
- Any original documentation detailing the vehicle purchase, including warranty details, provided if the vehicle was used but came with a pre-owned certified warranty from the manufacturer only
- Any records for your repair visits, including the dates and times for drop off and pickup, and clearly documenting the issue that is the basis of your claim
- Any email documentation dealing with what was communicated to you during repair efforts
- Any out-of-pocket expenses with details on what the expense was and how it is related to the vehicle repair problems, and your claim
What Is A Successful Lemon Law Lawsuit Giving Me?
