Luxury SUVs promise top-of-the-line performance, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. But what happens when your high-end vehicle starts acting more like a headache than a reward? No one expects a luxury SUV to spend more time at the dealership than in the driveway. Unfortunately, we hear from drivers across California who find themselves in exactly that situation.
If your luxury SUV has been in the shop again and again for the same issue, or if it’s been out of service for weeks, you may have a valid lemon law claim. We’re here to help you understand your rights and take action if the manufacturer hasn’t delivered the quality you were promised.
Common Problems in Luxury SUVs
Even the most prestigious auto brands can produce defective vehicles. In fact, we regularly work with clients dealing with ongoing issues in luxury SUVs made by:
- Mercedes-Benz
- BMW
- Audi
- Land Rover
- Porsche
These vehicles often come with complex electronics and performance features. When something goes wrong, it can create a chain of problems that’s hard to fix. Some of the most common complaints we see include:
- Transmission slips, hesitation, or failure
- Faulty air suspension systems that cause poor ride quality
- Malfunctioning infotainment or navigation systems
- Electrical issues that drain batteries or cause warning lights
- Engine problems, including turbo lag or loss of power
When these problems occur repeatedly, or the dealer can’t seem to fix them, the vehicle may qualify as a lemon under California law.
Why These Issues Matter Under California Lemon Law
California has one of the strongest consumer protection laws in the country for defective vehicles. If your luxury SUV has been under warranty and has had multiple repair attempts for the same issue, or has been out of service for 30 days or more, it may be considered a lemon.
Here’s what the law typically requires:
- The problem must have started during the manufacturer’s warranty period
- The dealer must have had a reasonable number of chances to fix it
- The issue must affect the use, value, or safety of the vehicle
It doesn’t matter if your SUV is brand new or slightly used. If it meets these requirements, you could be entitled to a refund, replacement, or cash settlement.
What You Should Do If You’re Facing Ongoing SUV Problems
If you’re frustrated by repeated trips to the service department, you’re not alone. We’ve helped many luxury SUV owners in the same position. The best thing you can do right now is start documenting everything. That includes:
- All service visits, including invoices and repair orders
- Written or text message communication with the dealer or manufacturer
- Notes on how the issue affects your day-to-day driving
If the car has been to the shop three or more times for the same issue, or has spent weeks out of service, don’t wait. The longer it goes unresolved, the more complicated the situation can become.
