Have you purchased a luxury vehicle that turned out to be defective? Luxury vehicles come with high expectations, and when those expectations are not met due to recurring issues, it can be incredibly frustrating and costly. At Consumer Action Law Group, we focus on defending consumers against defective vehicles and ensuring your rights are protected under the Lemon Law.
Detailed Service Description
What is the Lemon Law?
The Lemon Law is designed to protect consumers who purchase defective vehicles that fail to meet quality and performance standards. If a vehicle has recurring issues that cannot be fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, it may be considered a “lemon.” This law applies to new, leased, and sometimes used vehicles, including high-end luxury cars.
How the Lemon Law Protects You
The Lemon Law provides several protections for consumers who have purchased defective luxury vehicles, including:
- Refund or Replacement: You may be entitled to a full refund or a replacement vehicle if your luxury car is deemed a lemon.
- Repair Attempts: The manufacturer must be given a reasonable number of attempts to fix the vehicle. If the issue persists, you may have a valid Lemon Law claim.
- Coverage of Legal Fees: In many cases, the manufacturer is required to cover your legal fees if you win your Lemon Law case.
