Are You Driving a Ford Lemon?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that Ford’s vehicles are generally safe to drive and have lower death rates than other automakers. However, this is not to say that Ford doesn’t have its share of lemon automobiles.

Ford owners that experience persistent 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 your claim is successful, Ford Motor Company must either provide a new vehicle or refund your money if they cannot fix the problem after a “reasonable number” of repair attempts.
