Subaru Lemon Law

Subaru is the automobile manufacturing division of the Japanese transportation conglomerate Subaru Corporation. In Western markets, Subaru vehicles have traditionally attracted a small but devoted core of buyers. The company’s marketing targets those who desire its signature engine and drive train, all-wheel drive and rough-road capabilities, or affordable sports car designs.

While Subaru does market itself as the go-to manufacturer for outdoor drivers, it does not mean that all Subaru vehicles are made without imperfections. If you own a Subaru and had to take it in for multiple repairs, that could be a sign that it is a lemon. In California, consumers are eligible for remedies if it is determined that their car is a lemon.

Does The Lemon Law Apply To My Subaru?

A car can be qualified as a lemon if it had a defect while still under the manufacturer’s warranty.

For example, our lemon lawyers recently had a case against Subaru where our client’s vehicle had windshield wipers that kept failing even after Subaru tried to fix the issue multiple times. We knew that by the lemon law in California, a vehicle is considered a lemon if it experiences warranty defects that the manufacturer cannot fix. Knowing this, we filed a lawsuit against Subaru, and they offered a buyback to our client.

Known Subaru Lemon Law Issues

Subaru has faced many issues with defective vehicles and has had some of its most popular vehicles like the Subaru Ascent, Subaru Crosstrek, Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Legacy, and Subaru Outback recalled over the last few years involving:

• Blown head gaskets
• Corroded brake lines
• Failing transmission
• Industry-wide replacement of Takata airbags
• Short-circuiting puddle lights

In 2018, Subaru issued two recalls related to defective Takata airbag inflators that, upon the airbag’s deployment, may result in sharp metal fragments striking passengers.
