Navigating a Lemon Law Buyback: Essential Steps

The last thing anyone expects when they purchase a new vehicle is to be handed the keys to a lemon. While most consumers can happily drive their new car off the lot and enjoy it for years, not everyone is so lucky. Thankfully, California has a lemon law for consumer protection against the sale of faulty vehicles.

Ultimately, a California Lemon Law Buyback protects consumers from swallowing the cost of defective vehicles. If you’ve found yourself in this unfortunate situation, read on to learn more about California Lemon Law Buybacks and follow the seven steps below to help get yourself through the whole lemon law buyback process.

What is a Lemon Law Buyback?

In California, the lemon law buyback protects individuals who purchase a car, truck, or SUV under warranty. If the vehicle develops one or more defects while under warranty, the consumer may be eligible for a California Lemon Law Buyback. Understand that a vehicle under warranty is only eligible for buyback if the manufacturer cannot repair the defects in a reasonable number of attempts or if the vehicle is at a dealership for many days to repair one or more defects and it is still having problems.

If your vehicle is eligible for a California Buyback, its manufacturer has two options.

Replace the defective vehicle.
Buy back the defective vehicle.

Ideally, the consumer and manufacturer will agree on whether to provide a replacement vehicle or money back if the manufacturer offers the consumer a replacement vehicle that includes all warranties for complete protection. However, the manufacturer must also cover taxes, licensing fees, and registration on the replacement vehicle. In either situation, the manufacturer provides all legal fees from filing the case.

Unfortunately, lemon law claims are rarely a cut-and-dry process. First, the manufacturer must pay the consumer the entire amount for the automobile minus the mileage offset if it comes down to a buyback. This compensation is intended to repay the down Payment on the vehicle, any monthly payments made toward the vehicle, and to pay off the remaining loan on the vehicle.

Seven Steps to Help Navigate the Lemon Law Buyback Process

lemon law claims are rarely an easy process. If you’ve found yourself in this situation, it’s in your best interest to work with a qualified Lemon Car Lawyer to achieve the best possible outcome in your claim. To make your lemon law claim a more manageable process, follow the seven steps below.

1. Take Your Car to an Authorized Dealership

If you are having problems with your vehicle, you first need to take it to an authorized dealership for repair and give them a chance to fix it. For most problems, you need to give them 4 times to fix a problem. In some situations, if your vehicle is at the dealership for 30 days or more cumulatively, you may meet the lemon law as well.

2. Keep a Record of All Your Repair Attempts

To make your case more credible, you must keep good records of all repair attempts on the defective vehicle. Not having good records of the warranty and work performed on the vehicle can significantly delay your pursuing your claim.

3. Find a Reputable Lemon Law Attorney

Once you’ve had your defective vehicle worked on without success, it’s time to contact a California lemon law attorney. An experienced attorney can help you determine the lemon law buyback calculations and ultimately can help you successfully navigate the complex steps of the lemon law buyback process. If your lemon law claim is successful, the auto manufacturer will have to pay your attorney fees, not you.

4. File a Claim

Once you find a reputable lemon law attorney, they may try to informally resolve the claim with the manufacturer. Or, they may file a lawsuit against the manufacturer informing the auto manufacturer that you want a buyback.

5. Determine What the Terms of the Buyback Are

If the manufacturer agrees to buyback your vehicle, your lawyer will negotiate the terms of the buyback agreement on your behalf. You will be well-represented in your claims by working with an experienced lemon law attorney. Your lawyer will be able to clearly discuss with you the buyback terms with the manufacturer.

6. Return the Defective Vehicle to the Dealership

Once your lawyer has arranged a clear agreement on the buyback terms with the manufacturer, it’s time to return the defective vehicle to the Dealership.

7. Receive Payment from the Manufacturer

After you have signed a written agreement with the manufacturer and you’ve returned the defective vehicle to the manufacturer, it’s finally time to get reimbursed for the money you spent on the lemon vehicle. You can use this money to purchase a different car or spend it as you want. There are no stipulations on how you use your compensation.

California-Let

Tesla is set to unveil its first all-electric pickup truck in 2022, the Tesla Cybertruck, but will it be able to conquer one of the most popular segments in America with its futuristic model when Ford and General Motors reportedly will have their own electric trucks on the market within the next two years?

What is dubbed the Tesla Cybertruck will come in three different models:

the least expensive with one motor
the mid-level model with two motors
the most expensive with three motors

with prices ranging from $39.9k – $69.9k.

Although all three models have all-wheel drive, the models will differ in their acceleration, top speed, driving range, and towing capacity based on the number of motors they have. All three will have an adjustable air suspension, be able to haul 3500 pounds and provide 100 cubic feet of volume in their cargo bed, be able to seat up to six people, and have a slide-out tailgate that doubles as a four-wheeler or motorcycle ramp. While the least expensive model will have a maximum tow rating of 7500 pounds and provide 250 miles per charge, the most expensive model will be able to pull 14,000 pounds and be able to provide over 500 miles on a single charge. The specs on the two engine model fall between the other two models. But don’t expect a showy interior; the Cybertruck has a spartan cabin that has a slab-like dash dominated by one large 17-inch touchscreen.

Not surprisingly, the truck will feature Tesla’s self-driving Autopilot feature and Tesla will offer a Full Self-Driving option for $7,000. All models will come with a Limited Warranty which covers 4 years or 50,000 miles and a Powertrain Warranty which covers 8 years, regardless of miles. None of the models will be offered with complimentary scheduled maintenance.

But how will Tesla fare in the world of trucks where things are highly competitive and difficult to enter, and the big hitters Ram, Ford, and Chevy are typically sold to repeat customers? According to IHS Market (via Bloomberg), Detroit brands control almost 92% of the half-ton truck segment. Futhermore, customers who own Ram pickups are more loyal than owners of any other model line in the U.S.. The Ram loyalty is followed closely behind by brand loyalty to Ford or Chevrolet.

The problem gets even tougher for Tesla with Ford and GM setting their sights on producing their own electric trucks in the upcoming years. According to Bloomberg, “Ford has vowed to start selling hybrid-electric and battery-electric versions of the F-150 starting in 2020, and GM has committed to producing plug-in pickups at a plant it had been planning to shutter in the Detroit area.”

One of the final obstacles for Tesla to overcome is the hotly debated design of the vehicle. While many, including Telsa owner, Elon Musk, have compared it: to something out of Blade Runner, others have criticized it’s overly simple, impractical, militaristic design.

According to CarFax, 6.28M vehicles in California have open recalls – more than any other state in the nation.

Here are some good things to know about recalls, how to find out if your vehicle has an open recall, and what to do about them.

Stay Informed of Chevy Silverado Recalls

What is a recall?

First, we need to cover “what is a recall?” There are 2 kinds of recalls:

1. NHTSA Recalls

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issues recalls that are mandatory and typically quite serious. By law, any repairs made under this safety recall must be paid for by the manufacturer of the vehicle. NHTSA issues vehicle safety standards and requires manufacturers to recall vehicles and equipment’s that have safety-related defects. According to NHTSA, “A recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards.”

2. Voluntary Manufacturer Recalls

A safety recall is a vehicle manufacturer’s request for owners or lessees to bring a vehicle in for repairs, adjustments or replacement due to a known defect in the vehicle. Auto manufacturers will often release vehicle safety recalls or technical service bulletins (see below) for certain vehicles to prevent harm to consumers and to reduce their liability.

It’s important to note that, most decisions to conduct a recall and remedy a safety defect are made voluntarily by manufacturers, but often after NHTSA has already begun an investigation. When it comes to recalls, manufacturers are required to fix the problem by repairing it, replacing it, offering a refund, or in rare cases repurchasing the vehicle.

Additionally, you might come across something called a Technical Service Bulletin. While a technical service bulletin (also called a manufacturer communication, or TSB) is not a recall, it is a recommended service repair issued by the vehicle manufacturer after an unexpected problem has occurred in several vehicles of the same year, make, and model. Technical service bulletins are often not safety-related, unlike recalls.

Manufacturers are required to contact/inform owners or lessees of vehicles that are subject to safety recalls, but do not contact them for technical service bulletins. Instead, TSBs are provided to dealerships to help them fix problems when an owner or lessee comes to their dealership complaining of the problem.

Does my vehicle have an open recall?

Now that we’ve covered what a recall is, how do you find out if your vehicle has an open recall?

For all safety recalls, manufacturers are required to notify registered owners by first class mail within 60 days of notifying NHTSA of a recall decision. Manufacturers should offer a proper remedy to the owner. Often, however, the owner or lessee of a recalled vehicle will not receive notice as their address has changed.

Fortunately, you can check your vehicle for safety issues and recalls on your own at anytime by searching your vehicles VIN number via NHTSA.

If you are notified of an open recall or find one via the VIN number search, follow the instructions for the remedy, if one is available. Unfortunately, sometimes a manufacturer does not yet have a fix for a recalled safety problem and can only notify the owner or lessee that a problem exists.

What if my car doesn’t have a recall but I keep having problems?

If you’ve been to the repair shop multiple times for the same problem or if your vehicle has been in the shop many days for a variety of problems, and it still isn’t fixed, you may have a lemon.

California’s Lemon Law provides for repurchase or replacement of vehicles that are having problems which substantially impair the use, value or safety of the vehicle, including, but not limited to:

Brake issues
Engine stalling/not starting
Heating/cooling problems
Transmission issues
Other engine issues (vibrations, noises, overheating, etc.)

Less serious, but still significant, problems can also qualify your vehicle as a lemon. These problems may include a window that keeps breaking, a heated seat or mirror that doesn’t function properly, faulty fuses, dashboard lights that won’t go off, an inoperable navigation system, a failing backup camera, or a short in the interior lighting system that cannot be fixed after multiple attempts.

If you are experiencing issues with a repeated problem or variety of problems, you may have lemon. As a reminder, make sure to save ALL documentation from these repair visits – you’ll need these documents created by car dealerships as they are extremely important in California Lemon Law cases.

If you think you have Lemon, don’t hesitate to contact California Lemon Law Attorney, Liz Gayle, for a free consultation today by calling TOLL FREE: 1-866-STOP-LEMONS (1-866-786-7536). Remember, by law, the manufacturer is responsible for paying our legal fees on the Lemon Law cases that we resolve for you.

Nissan and Infiniti are recalling over 360,000 vehicles due to a fire risk. Specifically, the recall is to replace a faulty pump in the antilock braking system that could leak brake fluid and cause a fire. This newly expanded Nissan and Infiniti recall issue now includes newer vehicles that were previously deemed safe.

Stay Informed of Chevy Silverado Recalls

The Nissan and Infiniti recall includes:

2015-2018 Nissan Murano SUVs
2016-2018 Nissan Maxima sedans
2017-2019 Nissan Pathfinders
2017-2019 Infiniti QX60s

According Nissan (by way of Consumer Reports), when a leak occurs, the ABS warning lamp will illuminate on the dashboard for more than 10 seconds after the engine has been started. If this happens, Nissan/Infiniti advises that drivers park the vehicle outside and contact Nissan Roadside assistance for towing to a service department for repair.

Although some of these vehicles were already recalled in September 2018 and inspected and deemed safe by a dealer at that time, they still need to be brought back to the dealer for repair. Owners of the affected vehicles should be notified by early December 2019 and then should receive another notice in the summer when additional replacement parts are expected to be available for no-cost repairs at a dealership.

While owners and lessees of recalled vehicles should receive notification of a recall from the manufacturer of their vehicle, they often do not receive recall notices for reasons such as their address has changed since they acquired the vehicle. So, to make sure that the vehicle that you are driving stays safe, it is important for you to regularly check your car’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) website to see if there are any outstanding recalls on the vehicle. Here is the link: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls. The VIN is located in the lower left of your car’s windshield, on your car’s registration card, and possibly on your insurance card.

You cannot just purchase a used car and assume it’s safe. While Federal Law prohibits dealers from selling new vehicles that have open recalls that have not been done, it does not stop a dealer from selling you a used car with unrepaired recall work. Consumers have been seriously injured or killed by driving recalled cars that have not been repaired.

The U.S. PIRG, United States Public Interest Research Group Education Fund, along with Frontier Group and Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety Foundation, recently released a survey report on AutoNation. The survey examines over 2,400 used vehicles for sale at 28 AutoNation U.S. metro locations over 2 months during Summer of 2019. Of those surveyed, more than 1 in 9 used vehicles being sold by AutoNation, including some listed as certified pre-owned vehicles, had unresolved recalls. Select dealerships had as many as nearly 1 in 5 used and certified pre-owned vehicles with unrepaired recalls.

AutoNation advertises that its used vehicles are “worry-free”. On their website, they go on to claim “we take the risk out of buying a pre-owned vehicle,” and “as an industry leader we hold ourselves to higher standards.” The issue of selling used cars with unrepaired recalls is not new. This has been chronicled with issues relating to AutoNation dating back to at least 2016. AutoNation responded to the report saying that it “provides a transparent buying process for our customers” and informs customers multiple times if a vehicle that they are interested in has an open recall and the nature of the recall. Alexander Brangman, whose daughter was killed by an exploding airbag in a rental car that had been recalled but not repaired, has started a petition to call on Congress to make it illegal for dealers to sell used cars with open recalls.

Here’s what you can do to protect yourself:

Thoroughly investigate the vehicle you are looking to purchase for any unrepaired recalls. If there is an unrepaired recall, refuse to purchase the vehicle until it has been repaired at an authorized dealership.
You’ve already purchased the car but now you’d like to see if you missed anything, look up the cars VIN number to see if there are any known & unrepaired recalls. You can look this up via the NHTSA website. If you find any, bring your vehicle to any of the manufacturer’s authorized dealerships to have it fixed.
Provided that your car needs repair but parts aren’t readily available, insist on a safe loaner/rental vehicle from the manufacturer

If you purchased a used car that does not have any unserviced recalls but has resulted in many trips to the repair shop, you might have a lemon. Call Liz Gayle today to see what your options are!

It’s estimated that 150,000 cars a year are deemed to be “lemon cars” under our current lemon laws. That represents around 1% of the 17+ million new cars and trucks sold in the U.S.

Stay Informed of Chevy Silverado Recalls

What happens to those lemon cars? You might be surprised to find many of the cars that are repurchased by manufacturers are turned around and sold again, putting them back on the streets. That’s according to a recent article in Road & Track Magazine.

While some states require some type of disclosure (less than 1/3 of all states), most do not. Of those that do, titles do not typically have any reference to “lemon cars”. The often use words such “Manufacturer Repurchase”.

What can used car shoppers do? Well, not as much as you think. First, the buyer needs to be aware that it’s a possibility. Second, buyers need to do their due diligence. This includes reviewing the registration history. After its initial sale, has the car ever purchased by a manufacturer? Are there lots of changes in ownership in a short period of time? And finally, buyers can look to services such as Carfax to help spot significant or chronic problems experienced by the cars they are shopping for.

California-Lemonr

So you just bought or leased a new car in California and are stuck wondering, “What if my car is a lemon?” While the best case scenario is that your car is not a lemon, approximately 150,000 vehicles in the U.S. each year are lemons so we recommend being prepared should you end up with a lemon. Here are some tips to follow from the start in case your vehicle does become a lemon:

Stay Informed of Chevy Silverado Recalls

GET TO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

When you notice a problem, get your car to a dealership as soon as possible. “I have had people call me because they have been having problems with their car for a number of months or even years, yet they have not taken it to a dealership for repair,” says California Lemon Law Attorney, Liz Gayle. California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, or what is commonly referred to as the “Lemon Law”, is a warranty statute. All new vehicles come with warranties. The warranties entitle a purchaser or lessee to take the vehicle to a dealership for repair of a problem at no cost. You only potentially have rights under the Lemon Law if you give the dealership a reasonable number of attempts to repair your vehicle and it remains broken. Thus, if you do not take it in for repair, you are out of luck under the Lemon Law.

WRITE A LIST OF THE PROBLEMS

Make a written list of all of the problems (no matter how small) that your vehicle is currently experiencing before you get to the dealership so that you do not forget any while you are there. Make sure that you give thorough descriptions of each to the service writer while you are there and that they document each of your complaints and does so accurately. Do this by watching the monitor while the service advisor inputs your complaints into the computer. To do this at my dealership I have to stand behind the service advisor as the monitor is facing away from me. Although uncomfortable, this is necessary as it is the only way that I can confirm that my complaints are being accurately documented before the paperwork is printed out. If a complaint is left out it will be impossible to prove later that the dealership had the opportunity to fix it. If a complaint is written down incorrectly, not only will it make it more difficult for a mechanic to repair your vehicle, but it also may make it impossible later on to link the complaints for Lemon Law purposes.

ALWAYS GET A REPAIR ORDER AND WORK INVOICE

When you drop off your vehicle get a repair order, and when you pick it up get an invoice. You are legally entitled to this paperwork. Don’t leave the dealership without it. Dealerships often tell customers that they have special ordered a part for their car and will “leave the ticket open” until they bring their car back in for repair when the part comes in. By doing this, the dealership has cut down the number of repair attempts from two to one. Make sure that every time you leave a dealership with your car you also have an invoice. Never let them “leave the ticket open.”

KEEP ALL DOCUMENTATION & STORE IT IN A SAFE PLACE

The documents created by car dealerships/repair services are extremely important in California Lemon Law cases yet often the most overlooked by consumers. Most of us pay little or no attention to what is actually being input into the computer by the service writer or advisor. Often inundated with paperwork, some choose to throw away the paperwork that they are given upon exiting a dealership.

Keep all of your paperwork and store it in a safe place, not in your vehicle where it can “mysteriously” disappear while your car is in the shop. Set up a file or large envelope for all of the documents that you receive which concern your car. Keep it at home or at work. Save all of the documents that you were given when you purchased or leased the car as well as all of the paperwork that you are given when your car goes in for maintenance or repair work. Hopefully your vehicle will never be a lemon, but if it does you will have the documentation to support your case. The documentation also comes in handy if you later choose to sell your car.

It certainly is not always the case, but more than half of the time, lemon cars will begin displaying signs of trouble the first month, according to a survey by YourMechanic.com, a website focused on car repairs headquartered in Mountain View, California.

Stay Informed of Chevy Silverado Recalls

Here’s the actual breakdown of their findings on when problems popped up:

68 percent of lemon cars started to show signs and symptoms within one month of purchase.
36 percent of car owners noticed symptoms within one week.
32 percent of car owners noticed symptoms within one month.
20 percent of car owners noticed symptoms within six months.
12 percent of car owners reported symptoms up to or after one year of purchase.

Also among their findings was information about where the cars were purchased:

65 percent of lemon cars came from a dealership.
44 percent of respondents purchased from a used car dealership.
35 percent of respondents purchased directly through a private owner.
21 percent of respondents purchased from a new car dealership.

Remember that the key to being successful in lemon law cases is to accurately document all of the problems of the car: each time the occurred, and the result (with paperwork) of each trip to the dealer or mechanic to fix it.
