If you drive an Audi vehicle that has been in and out of repair shops for a persistent defect, it may be a lemon. Under California’s Lemon Law, Audi may be legally obligated to replace your defective vehicle, give you a cash settlement or provide a full refund as the auto manufacturer. The Audi Lemon Law attorneys at Young & Young APC can help you file this type of claim and pursue positive case results on your behalf.
If your new or certified pre-owned used Audi experiences issues, Audi is required to arrange prompt repairs as the manufacturing company. If after multiple attempts at repairs the issue still exists, the vehicle is declared a “lemon.” Under the California Lemon Law – California Civil Code Section 1790-1795.8 – the owner or lessee of a lemon is entitled to a resolution. The available remedies under the Audi Lemon Law are:
Under the Lemon Law Presumption, if an Audi undergoes two or more repair attempts for a defect that could cause serious bodily injury or death; four or more attempts for a defect that impacts the value, safety, or use of the vehicle; or is out of use for 30 days (not necessarily in a row) within 18,000 miles or 18 months of delivery, the Audi is presumed to be a lemon. However, these are not requirements. Many successful Audi Lemon Law cases exist outside of these parameters.
If you recently purchased or leased an Audi, the last thing you want is to experience a problem or defect. Unfortunately, many Audi vehicles are known to contain defects that range from inconvenient to highly dangerous. Reported Audi Lemon Law issues include, but are not limited to: engine, suspension, transmission, steering, electrical system, air conditioning system, and brake system.
