Is your Mercedes Benz a lemon? Under California’s “Lemon Law” (i.e., the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act), a vehicle manufacturer is obligated to fix any substantial problems with a vehicle that is under warranty within a “reasonable number of attempts.” If the manufacturer is unable to fix the problem (or if they can’t properly diagnose what is wrong), then the manufacturer is obligated to either repurchase the vehicle or replace it with a new one.
So, what is a “reasonable” number? That depends on how serious the mechanical problem is. It can be as few as two for defects that pose serious safety issues. Similarly, defects that prevent you from being able to rely on your vehicle require fewer repair attempts. The best way to find out if you have a lemon law claim is to call for a free consultation.
