You bought a luxury car for its comfort, performance, and attention to detail, not for constant trips back to the dealer. Whether it’s a recurring software glitch, a faulty engine, or an infotainment system that never works right, those high-end features can come with unexpected headaches.
The good news is that California’s lemon law doesn’t just apply to economy vehicles. If your high-end car is under warranty and continues to have problems despite multiple repair attempts, you have legal rights. At The Lemon Firm, we help car owners like you hold manufacturers accountable when a luxury vehicle turns into a source of stress.
Common Problems in High-End Vehicles
You’d think that paying more would mean fewer problems. Unfortunately, luxury car owners often deal with advanced systems that are more likely to malfunction. We’ve handled cases involving:
- Transmission failures that make the car undrivable
- Repeated engine stalling or overheating
- Suspension issues causing rough or unsafe rides
- Software bugs affecting navigation, audio, or climate control
- False alarms or sensor errors tied to safety features
Whether it’s a Tesla with battery issues, a Mercedes-Benz with electrical failures, or a BMW with faulty drivetrains, high-end vehicles are not immune to defects.
How the Lemon Law Applies to Luxury Cars
California’s lemon law protects consumers who buy or lease a new or used vehicle under warranty, and that includes luxury cars. If your car has a defect that the dealer can’t fix after a reasonable number of attempts, or if it spends too many days in the shop, it may qualify as a lemon.
To meet the legal standard, your car typically must:
- Have a substantial defect covered by the manufacturer’s warranty
- Undergo multiple repair attempts for the same issue
- Be out of service for a significant number of days (generally 30 or more)
The law applies to both purchased and leased vehicles. It also covers used luxury vehicles, as long as they’re still under the original or certified pre-owned warranty.
What You Could Be Entitled To
If your luxury vehicle qualifies under the lemon law, you may be eligible for several types of compensation, including:
- A full refund of the purchase or lease price
- A replacement vehicle of similar value
- A cash settlement for the car’s reduced value
On top of that, the manufacturer is responsible for covering your attorney’s fees and costs. That means you don’t pay anything out of pocket. We only get paid if we win or settle your case. It’s a risk-free way to stand up for your rights.
Why Timing Matters
If your car has been in and out of the shop, now is the time to act. The longer you wait, the harder it can be to build a strong claim. Keeping thorough records is one of the most effective steps you can take to ensure success.
Be sure to save:
- All repair orders and receipts
- Communications with the dealer or manufacturer
- Notes on how the defect affects your use of the car
The more documentation you have, the easier it is for us to present a clear case on your behalf.
