What You Need To Know About The California Lemon Law
What most consumers know as the California Lemon Law is actually a bill passed by the California legislature in 1970. At that time, it was called the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Many believe that the current Lemon Law only covers new cars purchased from dealers. However, it applies to new and used automobiles bought or leased, as well as used cars. But the used vehicles must be sold with a factory warranty remaining. This law still holds the manufacturer responsible for replacement or buyback after a reasonable number of repair attempts to address the same issue. Finally, the item must meet specific criteria to be covered under the Lemon Law. When you need a lawyer experienced in Volkswagen Tiguan electrical glitches lemon law cases, Guardian Lemon Law is the only name you need to know.

The Specific Issues And Defects On Your 2015-2020 Volkswagen Tiguan
The issues related to the Tiguan’s electrical glitches and battery drain are often attributed to software problems, such as bugs in updates, hardware issues like the touchscreen delaminating over time, and overheating due to connection and sensor issues. What is most upsetting to drivers is that when they are trying to use the features in their Tiguan, they often face challenges like:
- The screen will go blank or freeze and become unresponsive, having a significant impact on the function and usefulness of the climate control, navigation, or infotainment systems
- GPS or Navigation confusion that can select a destination and chart directions to a location multiple states away from the desired location
- Warning lights can be illuminated for features like the SOS when they have not actually been activated
As a result of these issues, drivers could experience a dead battery in their Tiguan, low-voltage warning lights, and difficulty jump-starting the vehicle when a new or barely used battery has lost voltage. If you have continually experienced these annoying and possibly unsafe issues with your Tiguan, please reach out to Guardian Lemon Law for a free consultation and case evaluation with an experienced lemon lawyer to sue Volkswagen for electrical glitches.

What Is The Compensated For These Lemon Issues?
When your Volkswagen Tiguan electrical glitches lemon law lawsuit is completed, you will have one of two outcomes. In the first case, you would be provided with a replacement vehicle from Volkswagen that is of equal value and is a similar model. The refund or buy-back option would involve returning the vehicle to the manufacturer in exchange for a refund of the amount you paid for the car, plus any taxes or fees you paid. In a buy-back situation, the manufacturer will typically want to reduce the refund amount based on the mileage or use you had in the vehicle before the issues began. You will also be able to request reimbursement for your out of pocket expenses like towing and rental costs, lost income if you missed work to deal with vehicle repairs, and the cost of your legal fees for your Volkswagen Tiguan electrical glitches lemon law lawsuit.
What Is My Time Limit For Filing A Lemon Lawsuit Against Volkswagen?
In the State of California, the time limit for filing a Volkswagen Tiguan electrical glitches lemon law lawsuit is based on the earliest of two dates related to the vehicle and its purchase. The first date is one year after the original manufacturer’s warranty expiration. The second date is six years from the date that you took delivery of the vehicle. Your lawsuit needs to be filed with the court before whichever of these two dates is first in order for you to take advantage of the California Lemon Law.
