California’s Lemon Law for Chryslers

When a vehicle has a problem or multiple defecta that satisfies California lemon law requirements, the owner may qualify for a buyback or a new replacement vehicle. The vehicle manufacturer and its dealer has the right to repair the issue under warranty. However, after they’ve made a reasonable number of repair attempts, the owner can file a lemon law claim against them if the vehicle still isn’t fixed. You don’t have to give Chrysler an unlimited number of repair attempts before you car qualifies as a lemon.

California’s lemon law applies to new vehicles repaired under the manufacturer’s warranty. After the warranty has expired, a consumer may still be protected under the lemon law as long as they presented the vehicle for repair while the vehicle was under warranty. You do not need to own your Chrysler to have a valid lemon law claim — you can be leasing the vehicle or could have even sold it or traded it in. 

Once the manufacturer has failed to repair the issue after a reasonable number of repairs, the vehicle owner has a right to bring a lemon law claim. A reasonable number of repairs can be as few as two repairs, depending on the facts in your case. If the vehicle still fails to provide dependable and safe transportation after two or more repairs, the vehicle may be considered a lemon. New motor vehicles and even a business vehicle can be considered a lemon under California’s lemon law. As a result, all of the following Chrysler vehicles are protected under the lemon law:

• Chrysler 300 
•  Chrysler Pacifica 
•  Chrysler Voyager 
•  Chrysler 200 
•  Chrysler Aspen 
•  Chrysler 
•  Chrysler PT Cruiser
•  Chrysler Sebring
•  Chrysler Town and Country 

Is Your Chrysler Defective?

The California lemon law offers consumers extensive protection against defective vehicles. A lemon is a defective vehicle and doesn’t function properly, even after at least two attempts at repair. California’s lemon law applies to new vehicles, as long as the vehicle is repaired under warranty. Even if your vehicle is no longer under warranty, you may still be protected under the lemon law if you presented your vehicle for repairs while it was still under warranty. 

The defect or defects in your vehicle must substantially impair your vehicle’s use, value, or safety. You do not have to prove that your vehicle has been in for repairs for the same defect. Your vehicle may have multiple different defects. If you answer yes to the following questions, there’s a good chance that your Chrysler may be a lemon:

• The Chrysler is covered by the warranty, or it was covered when the problem started
•  The problem negatively affects the value, safety, or use of the vehicle
•  You’ve given the manufacturer or distributor at least two chances to repair the vehicle
•  The problem has not been resolved

How Does the Chrysler Lemon Law Buyback Process Work?

When you can prove that your vehicle is eligible as a lemon under California’s lemon law, the manufacturer will be required to replace your defective vehicle with a new one or buy back your vehicle from you.   Chrysler is also required to provide you with reimbursement for all of the incidental and consequential costs of the multiple repair attempts, such as the cost of towing and renting a vehicle. In some cases, when the manufacturer willfully violated the law by not buying back the car or offering a replacement, it may be required to pay civil penalties of up to two times your actual damages. They will also be required to pay your attorney’s fees and cost.

Common Defects in Chrysler

Some of the most common issues in Chrysler vehicles include, but are not limited to the following:

• Unresponsive gas pedal
• Transmission not shifting properly
• Engine failure
• Power steering leaks
• Loud clunking noises from the transmission
• Total electrical shutdown
• Engine shutting off while driving
• Computer and electrical components malfunctioning
• Check engine warning light
