Affected Years: 2021, 2022, 2023 Volvo V90. Our law firm is also investigating 2024, 2025, 2026 Volvo V90 for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the Air Springs/Compressor.
When someone shops for a new vehicle, they will often test drive it before deciding to buy it. That test drive means different things to people under different circumstances. A new vehicle is usually driven to evaluate what the ride feels like, and how the driver comfort in the vehicle is. The buyer might even be interested in how the performance of the vehicle is, how it corners, brakes, and accelerates. Used cars will be evaluated the same way, though with some allowance for expectations and performance, since it saves the buyer some money.
When you are driving your Volvo V90 and the ride feels odd or just not normal, the next call you make is to schedule an appointment at your local Volvo dealer. Many components in a car that use air technology are prone to needing calibration or breaking as the car ages and is used more. The fact is that there are a great many things that wear and break over time in today’s automobiles. Warranty is one of the reasons why new cars are purchased, and its importance is even more critical if you suddenly find your car in the shop repeatedly for failures on the same things, like a suspension problem.
If you are having an issue with your Volvo V90 and, after the 3rd or 4th trip to a shop, you start to wonder if you are dealing with a Lemon Law issue, Guardian Lemon Law is only a phone call away. We can schedule a review of your case and see if your problem does, in fact, qualify under California Lemon Law.
If it does qualify, then we can sue Volvo for selling you a defective, lemon Volvo V90, and provide you with an experienced Volvo V90 lemon law attorney. We offer a Zero-Fee Guarantee, which we will go over in more detail later.
The Eligibility Requirements To File A Claim Under California Lemon Law
There are a few different parts of the vehicle qualification for Lemon Law claims, and they are listed below. While not difficult to understand, there are often disputes between you and the manufacturer when you mention the Lemon Law for the first time. The first deciding factor when the subject comes up is whether the vehicle is qualified and subject to the protections the Lemon Law offers. Guardian Lemon Law performs a case evaluation to confirm the qualification of your car under the guidelines below, and as set in the State of California Lemon Law. The first two listed must be met.
- Your vehicle must be covered under the manufacturer’s new car warranty or a certified pre-owned warranty when the issue started, and the repair efforts were made
- The issue named as the Lemon Law violation cannot be caused by improper use or abuse of the vehicle
Under the Lemon Law in California, there is no specific number of repair efforts required. You must, however, provide the manufacturer with what the law says is an opportunity to make repairs. If either of the two items below is met, a presumption of the vehicle being a lemon may be created.
- A reasonable number of attempts to repair your issue have been made, with reasonable being defined as at least two attempts for significant safety issues, and at least four attempts for any defect that is not safety related
- The efforts to repair the specific issue have totaled more than 30 days of out of service time on the vehicle
- The remaining key factor in verifying whether you can file a claim or we can sue Volvo for selling you a defective, lemon Volvo V90 is whether the Statute of Limitations has not been exceeded.
The Time Limit For Filing A Lemon Law Claim Or Lawsuit
The Statute of Limitations in the State of California for filing a Lemon Law claim or lawsuit has changed as of January 1, 2025. Your lawsuit or claim must be filed within 1 year of the expiration of your vehicle’s original warranty, or 6 years from the date you took delivery of your automobile. The Guardian Lemon Law team can provide more information on this during your case evaluation, and make sure the suit gets filed in time if you need to hire a Volvo V90 air suspension defects lemon lawyer.
What Else Should I Know About The California Lemon Law Before Filing A Claim?
The California Lemon Law was adopted in 1971 with the express purpose of providing consumers protection when dealing with manufacturers and their warranties. This is the most important thing you need to know when it comes to Lemon Law. It was signed into law for the exact reason you are reading this now, and you will soon be calling Guardian Lemon Law. The next thing we want you to know is your remedy options. While there is always the potential for a settlement from the manufacturer before a claim is filed or a case gets to court, the Lemon Law says you are entitled to either a buyback of the vehicle or a replacement with the same model or a similar one if that model is unavailable.
No matter what you elect to do once Guardian Lemon Law determines your vehicle is qualified, one of these remedies will be the outcome of your Volvo V90 defective air springs/compressor lemon lawsuit or claim.
The Issues And Customer Experiences With The 2021-2023 Volvo V90 Defective Air Springs/Compressor
There are a couple of different but key parts of the consumer experience regarding the air suspension defects in the Volvo V90. The symptoms range across what many would describe as standard for any suspension issues on many different vehicles. Rough rides on bumpy roads, excessive body tilt when cornering, and a “nose dive” effect when braking heavily are indicators of something going wrong with your V90 suspension, especially when that behavior is new. Challenges with steering under braking or cornering are another way the issue will manifest itself.
Additional symptoms that are not felt but observed include premature and unusual tire wear patterns, as well as odd noises when the suspension is under some level of strain or stress, such as uneven road surfaces, potholes, and similar. The most noticeable indication is that the V90’s ride height is much lower than it used to be.
The root causes vary, but all of them center around component failure. Air compressor failures seem most common, but there can also be issues with the air lines and the air springs. These issues are also going to show up with normal shock wear, as well as small things like connection components between suspension and frame.
If your dealer cannot manage to resolve the suspension issues with your Volvo V90, then it may be time to ask Guardian Lemon Law about hiring a lawyer experienced in Volvo V90 air suspension defects lemon law cases to represent you.
