Affected Years: 2021, 2022, 2023 Volvo XC60. Our law firm is also investigating 2024, 2025, 2026 Volvo XC60 for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the Window Regulator/Motor.
If you were to sit down and track the evolution of some average vehicle features, you would quickly have a whole list of things that, just a few years ago, were order items with a cost added to the MSRP. Items like power steering, radios, and air conditioners are all things that come as either standard equipment today, or at least on the vast majority of passenger vehicles here in the United States. Even small items like door locks and electric windows were add-on items, and most of the time, if you wanted them, you had to order the vehicle from the factory and wait until it arrived. Today, this equipment is just part of what comes with the vehicle by default. You might be able to order a base model truck without electric windows, but the issue is that this option doesn’t exist for most makes and models today. The assembly line is not set up to make it, and the parts are not on a shelf anywhere. This evolution has introduced a great many things that may need to be fixed during the lifetime of an automobile, and electric windows can introduce some challenges when they don’t work reliably.
Overall, that type of issue sounds like it ought to be easy to fix. A slow or non-working window should not be something that happens often or is difficult to repair normally. It does depend on what the issue is, and if the parts are readily available, or might even be the source of the problem. It could also become an issue that you might have to deal with a few times. After a few weeks of having your vehicle in the shop, you might come to realize that you need to call Guardian Lemon Law and ask for a lemon lawyer to sue Volvo for power window failure when they haven’t been able to provide a permanent fix.
Lemon Law In California – Its History And Purpose
The purpose of Lemon Laws in California was to provide consumer protection when a manufacturer was either struggling to meet the guarantees of its warranty or unwilling to do so at all. They exist to provide consumers a legal recourse when dealing with what the law has developed and now legally defines as a lemon. In March of 1971, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act became the foundation of California’s Lemon Law today. It has continued to evolve and update, and still provides a remedy path if you bought a product that cannot be fixed by the manufacturer. If your electric windows aren’t working and Volvo has tried repeatedly to fix them, your vehicle may qualify for a lemon law claim. Guardian Law Firm can provide a Volvo XC60 lemon law attorney to help you confirm that your vehicle meets the qualifications for a lemon law claim. When you want to know if your vehicle is eligible, please call Guardian Lemon Law. We will file a Volvo XC60 defective window regulator/motor lemon lawsuit if Volvo isn’t willing to settle the issue after failing to repair the windows.
The Qualifications For A Lemon Law Claim On Your Volvo XC60
The qualifications for Lemon Law are focused on the vehicle itself as well as the issue itself. The vehicle qualifications both need to be met, and are:
The vehicle must be under manufacturer warranty at the time of the issue and throughout the repair efforts.
The owner of the vehicle has not operated the vehicle in a manner that causes or contributes to the reported problem. For example, you aren’t fording a river in the SUV to and from work daily, causing rust in the wiring harness.
The repair qualifications are defined as:
A reasonable number of attempts at repairs has been made to address your issue. This is legally defined as a minimum of 2 attempts for any safety-related issue, and at least four attempts for anything non-safety related
The vehicle cumulative repair time for this issue is greater than 30 days in total, and the vehicle has been unavailable to you for that time period
The issue with the vehicle is affecting the safe operation, its actual use, or the value of the vehicle
Guardian Lemon Law will provide you with a lawyer experienced in Volvo XC60 power window failure lemon law cases when it is time to file a claim or lawsuit. There is one more thing that needs to be reviewed before we can file your claim, and that is to review the time limit for your issue.
What Is The Time Limit For Lemon Law Claims In California?
The Statute of Limitations for filing a Lemon Law claim or lawsuit in the State of California has two different time limits, and the one affecting your claim is going to be the earliest of the two on the calendar. The claim must be filed within one year of the expiration of the factory warranty. It must also be filed before the six-year anniversary date of the delivery of your vehicle. If this parameter is met, then we can sue Volvo for selling you a defective, lemon Volvo XC60.
The Volvo XC60 Power Window Failure Customer Reports
The symptoms of the window failure issue are very simple. The window is stuck in whatever position it was in and does not respond when using the switch on the driver’s master panel or the passenger seat control. It is up, down, or stuck. The other symptom is that one window moves slowly by comparison to the others.
The potential causes are typically that the switch or motor is worn out. It can be a failed or blown fuse, and occasionally the window just needs to be reset.
