Sick and tired of spending time at the shop trying to get your new or used Georgetown RV repaired? Have you wasted time and money and the RV still has the same problem(s)? California’s Lemon Law covers Georgetown RV vehicles and could be the path to either getting your money back or receiving a new vehicle!
In 1970, California enacted the Lemon Law to provide drivers with relief from persistent problems with their vehicles. What does the Lemon Law do? The simple answer: if you purchased or leased a new or used vehicle in California that is under a warranty and has had an ongoing problem or problems that a dealer has unsuccessfully attempted to fix over multiple repair visits, you may qualify for compensation. The California Lemon Law applies to cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, RVs, motorcycles, some business-owned vehicles, and boats. It applies to purchased or leased new vehicles. It also pertains to used vehicles that are certified pre-owned and/or still under a manufacturer’s warranty.
The manufacturer pays the Gayle Law Group PC when your case is resolved. You are never responsible for any legal fees.
Does My Georgetown RV Qualify as a Lemon?
The chassis of your Recreational Vehicle falls under the Lemon Law just as cars and trucks do. The coach is covered much like an off-road motorcycle – it’s considered ‘consumer goods’ and has the same protection as other goods sold with a manufacturer’s warranty. Here’s what that means for your RV: The chassis – engine, drive train, everything that makes the RV mobile – is a ‘lemon’ if it has a substantial defect that impairs its “use, value, or safety” and multiple attempts to fix it under warranty have failed. Few attempts suffice when the defect is a serious safety issue: anything that puts the driver and passengers lives in danger. The RV may also be a lemon if it has been in the shop for an excessive number of days – even if the repairs were for different issues. In fact, in the first 18 months or 18,000 miles (whichever comes first), if the defect remains despite your best efforts to get it fixed or there’s been a series of unending problems, the RV is presumed to be a lemon if the dealer hasn’t fixed it after repeated attempts.
Then, it’s up to the manufacturers to prove it’s not a lemon. The coach – Simply, if you bought the RV new, it’s under warranty, doesn’t perform like it is supposed to due to defects, you’ve tried to have it repaired repeatedly and have been unsuccessful, the RV can qualify as a lemon. Electrical and plumbing issues, tank leaks, hookups that consistently fail, slide-outs that won’t work, heating and air conditioning failures are all covered.
