The car company with the second highest number of complaints, Chevrolet, was significantly behind Ford with 7,303 total complaints. Reported Ford Lemon Law issues include problems with the engine, suspension, transmission, steering, electrical system, cooling system, and airbags. If you own or lease any of these Ford vehicles or another type of Ford and are experiencing persistent problems, you may have a lemon.
What Are Your Rights Under California’s Lemon Law?
The California Lemon Law, also known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, is found in Section 1790-1795.8 of the California Civil Code. Under this law, all auto manufacturers are obligated to arrange prompt repairs for a vehicle that has a defect and is covered by an express or implied warranty. If the defect cannot be repaired within a reasonable number of attempts, it is considered a “lemon.”
In California, a reasonable number of repair attempts does not refer to a specific number. Instead, what is “reasonable” is determined on a case-by-case basis. If you notice the defect within 18,000 miles or 18 months of vehicle delivery, however, the Lemon Law Presumption will presume your vehicle is a lemon if the dealership has attempted two or more repairs for a defect that could cause serious bodily injury, four more repairs for a defect that affects the value or use of the vehicle, or if the vehicle has been out of use for more than 30 cumulative days.
The California Lemon Law applies to both new and certified pre-owned used Ford vehicles, as long as a defective used vehicle is still under a manufacturer’s warranty. It also applies to leased, rather than purchased, Ford vehicles. With a successful Ford Lemon Law case, the manufacturer will be responsible for resolving the issue with a vehicle replacement, full refund, or cash settlement. The value of your case depends on the circumstances; contact an attorney to find out how much your Lemon Law case is worth.
