Understanding your lemon
Chrysler Lemon Law Lawyer
Chrysler is considered one of the “Big Three” automobile manufacturers in the United States. It is the American subsidiary of the Dutch-domiciled company Stellantis.
The original Chrysler company was founded by Walter Chrysler back in 1925. The company was acquired by Daimler-Benz in 1988 and was renamed DaimlerChrysler.
Over the decades, Chrysler has built a quality reputation, however, despite this, many of these vehicles can be considered lemons under the California law.
Are You Driving a Chrysler Lemon?
Chrysler owners that experience repeated issues with their vehicle while under warranty are entitled to file a lemon law claim. The California lemon law is found under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (“Song Beverly”) found at California Civil Code Section 1790 et. seq.. If you have a valid claim, Chrystler must either provide a new vehicle or refund your money if they cannot fix the problem after a “reasonable number” of repair attempts.
An automobile may be presumed to be a lemon if:
- The problem started within 18,000 miles or 18-months of delivery
- The problem is reported to the manufacturer and has not been fixed after four or more attempts
- The problem is not fixed after two or more attempts if the issue could potentially cause death or serious injury
- The vehicle is out for service for more than 30 days
It is crucial to have an experienced lemon law attorney on your side to help you navigate the lemon law process. Call us to find out whether your Chrysler qualifies as a lemon.
