Do
you own a new (or used under
VW “Pre-Loved/VW Assured factory
warranty) Jetta that has had
repeated symptoms/ problems, and
at least one of the
symptoms/problems has been subject
to 3 or more repair attempts at
the dealership during the original
4 year/ 50,000 mile factory new
vehicle limited warranty (or
“Volkswagen Pre-Loved Certified
Pre-Owned” warranty)? The
same goes if you own a GTi, Eos,
Beetle, Passat, CC, Touareg,
Tiguan, Routan, Rabbit or GLi
that has had repeated
symptoms/problems, and at least
one of the symptoms/ problems has
been subject to 3 or more repair
attempts at the dealership during
the original 4 year/ 50,000 mile
factory new vehicle limited
warranty (or “Volkswagen
Pre-Loved Certified Pre-Owned”
warranty)?
A
number of Volkswagen vehicles have
had various known mechanical
and/or safety impairment issues.
If you have had multiple warranty
repair attempts for the same
issue, or an excessive number of
days in the shop, you may have a
Volkswagen vehicle that qualifies
for coverage under California’s
Lemon Law. You could receive your
money back or a new replacement
Volkswagen! (Replacement only
applicable on vehicle’s acquired
new). Also, Volkswagen’s since
2004 forward also have a 5
year/60,000 mile factory
“powertrain warranty” that
covers the engine, transmission,
and final drive axle (manual
transmission stick-shift clutch
system is excluded). This
“powertrain” warranty is
applicable to California lemon
law.
Do you have surging, stalling, or other driveability complaints?
Do you have the cooling system overheating and/or coolant leaks?
Do you have loss of power or warning lights while driving?
Do you have other issues or repeated dashboard warning displays?
Do you have “CHECK ENGINE” light problems?
Do you have “SERVICE ENGINE SOON” light problems?
Does your Volkswagen engine consume too much oil?
Do you have engine
mis-fire/knocking problems?
Do you have power steering problems?
Do you have SRS/Airbag/Passenger Seat Occupancy problems?
Do you have transmission problems?
Do you have Traction Control/Stability control system problems?
Do you have “ABS brake warning light” problems?
Do you have other problems not listed above?
If
you feel that you meet the “3 or
more repair attempts” criteria
noted above, please call us at the
toll-free number below to receive
a FREE Lemon Law case review and
evaluation of your vehicle.
PLEASE
NOTE: For
engine/drive-ability/etc. cases,
we do not accept cases for review
in which the owner has modified
the vehicle via installation of
aftermarket performance
“chips”, “mapping”,
“intake systems” and
“starting at the exhaust
manifold” exhaust systems, etc.
We also do not pursue cases
wherein one or more repair invoice
on your Volkswagen states
“outside influence – not a
warranty issue” or “evidence
of tampering”. If the vehicle is used for "business purposes," a lemon law claim/case cannot be brought on that vehicle if there are more than 5 vehicles registered to the owner/business.
Cases that are accepted will be at
a very low “contingency fee”
to the consumer (attorney’s fees
billable to auto manufacturer
under statute if attorney settles
case).
We
would like to stress that Volkswagen’s
are one of the highest quality and
most tech- nologically advanced
vehicles on the market, and that
the issues noted above will likely
not happen to most owners of these
vehicles. That being said, despite
a manufacturer’s best efforts,
some Volkswagens will turn out to
be “lemons” by their
qualifying warranty repair
histories. For these vehicles
California’s largest lemon law
firm can be a great asset to
consumers in getting their legal
entitlement under the California
Lemon Law.
The
California Lemon Law protects
consumers that purchase or lease
new or under-warranty used
Volkswagen vehicles in the state
of California, register them here
via paying California tax and
license (registration), and have
their warranty repairs performed
at factory authorized California
Volkswagen dealership locations.
Consumers must keep their warranty
work receipts, or gain a
“warranty repair history”
printout from the dealership to
prove the repairs/repair visits
that have taken place.
Our
lemon law statute in California
provides the manufacturer of your
vehicle with a “reasonable”
number of repair attempts to
rectify the problem/symptom. The
number of repair visits necessary
to be “reasonable” is relative
to how many months the car has
been in warranty service, the
description and substantiality of
the symptom/problem, and the
number of miles currently on the
car. It should be noted that
contrary to what you may read in
your vehicles warranty book,
California has no requirement for
“arbitration”, allowing the
consumer to directly seek and
retain legal counsel to represent
them in a “lemon law” case.
Manufacturer’s
“Customer Assistance Centers”
give out “case numbers”, which
are NOT a lemon law case, but
rather simply a reference number
for the next time you call in with
a complaint.
Watch
out for the age-old trick of the
“dealer trade assist” or
similar wording used by some car
dealers if a customer complaints
about his/her Volkswagen that has
symptoms/problems. Customers are
often told “we will get you out
of your car and into a new one”.
Don’t fall for this time-worn
consumer ploy. This is simply the
dealer trying to take your
Volkswagen back in trade and sell
you a new one, taking all the
negative equity from your current
Volkswagen and hiding it in the
loan or lease on the new
replacement vehicle.
Our
California lemon law is the avenue
car buyers utilize to get their
money back, or a new replacement Volkswagen vehicle.
Under
our California statute, consumers
who buy or lease a new vehicle (or
a used Volkswagen that is still
under the manufacturer’s new
vehicle warranty or “Certified
Pre-Owned” warranty program) all
get to exercise their California
Lemon Law rights if they have a
qualifying repair history.
We
invite you to call us today. We
are consumer advocates. We are on
your side. We have settled over
18,000 California lemon law cases.
We have 35 years of experience as
we do ONLY “lemon law cases”
– no other area of legal
practice.
