California Lemon Law Covers Vehicle Stalling Problems! And Most Other Car Problems Too!
September 15th, 2008 by smdtimeYou live in California and you own an auto that is still covered under warranty and is now having problems with your electrical system and ignition switch on your Audi. Will the California Lemon Law cover this car even though it’s not brand new? Is this law different than other states?
Very briefly, the answer is a resounding yes! This law will cover the electrical system, braking system, transmission and pretty much anything that goes wrong in the vehicle, if after many attempts, still cannot be completely fixed.
But not being an attorney it’s hard for me to answer that more than that when it comes to legalities. But I will clarify that even more from the
viewpoint of a layman that has seen countless people deal with the mega auto manufacturers and watch them try to fight them. It sometimes seemed, for so many of these people, like an insurmountable task. If you speak to the right people, you can ensure that you will be compensated for your ‘lemon’ vehicle. The lawmakers all over California have passed a law that ensures that you, the consumer, are covered. And there are many examples as to how this law has helped you and me; the common folk that major corporations sometimes get one over on.
One such story is written below. The Smiths (name changed to protect them) had a real problem with their vehicle, but because the lawmakers in California passed this lemon law, they were covered. Again, this is only one problem that is covered by this lemon law. It covers most other problems also!
Mr. Smith never had to concern himself with what exactly the California Lemon Law entailed. Why should he? The car he owned, even though it was nearly a year old, had only a small issue with the engine stopping right after he first bought it. And that went away all by itself. All’s well that ends well, right? Not!
Nearly one year into his Audi, the engine just stopped again all by itself. He was concerned there was something wrong, obviously, so he brought it into the Audi dealership. They told him it was minor and to pick up the car at 5:00. He did just that; it started up perfectly; and he was a happy camper. He was convinced he didn’t have to concern himself with the California Lemon Law. He hadn’t even known much about it.
The next morning he hopped into his car to go to work and the car started. He put it in reverse and the Honda’s engine died again. He started it up and put the car in reverse and got out of his driveway. But it wasn’t a mile or so and the engine died again.
Once again, he went back to his home, called the dealership and brought the car in for service. This time they gave him a loaner car and told Mr. Smith that they would call him when they fixed his automobile.
Days went by. Finally he got a call and he picked up his car. He put his keys in the ignition and he wasn’t out of the lot and the engine stalled out again. He was finished with this and called a California Lemon Law Attorney. Within thirty days, without any money out of his pocket, Mr. Smith got compensated for everything he had paid for the car, his down payment and got himself another new car.
You see, this law doesn’t pick and choose who is covered under it in California. It doesn’t rule you out because you don’t have a high economic status or because you aren’t a college graduate. This law sees everyone the same, and if you have a problem with your vehicle and you’ve tried continually to have it fixed and you weren’t successful, then you too can get retribution!
You don’t have to tolerate a vehicle that is a lemon if you live in the state of California. This law was put into affect in that state to help you, the consumer.
