RV Lemon Law Attorneys in California

RV lemon laws generally cover consumers who have purchased a new or used RV from a dealer or manufacturer. In some cases, they may also cover leased RVs.

RV lemon laws generally cover defects that affect the safety, value, or use of the vehicle. This can include mechanical defects, design defects, and defects in materials or workmanship.

If your RV is a lemon, you may be entitled to compensation under your state’s RV lemon law. This can include compensation for repair costs, replacement costs, or other damages. To seek compensation, you will need to file a claim with the manufacturer or dealer and provide evidence of the defect and the attempts to repair it. In some cases, you may need to go to court to pursue your claim.

Some common cases warranting a lemon lawsuit include: defective airbags, molding in the air condition unit, antilock brake failure, transmission failures, body damage, damaged or broken brake pedal causing failure, ineffective or failing seatbelts, malfunctioning electronics and wiring, engine computer not functioning properly, cruise-control malfunctions, engine fire and failure, leaking in the fuel injection system, defects in the fuel line that could create fire and smoke damage, chipping and defective paint, power steering malfunctions, premature wear and tear on the brakes and rotor, steering pull as a result of a malfunction, engine stalling, sudden unintended acceleration.

The exact criteria vary from state to state but new vehicle lemon laws require that a manufacturer repurchase a vehicle that has a cogent defect that the manufacturer is unable to repair within a reasonable timeframe. California lemon laws take into consideration the nature of the problem with your vehicle, the number of days that the vehicle is unavailable due to repairing the reoccurring issue, and the number of times vehicle repair was attempted. The manufacturer could be obligated to buy back the faulty vehicle if the repairs cannot be completed within the total number of days outlined in your state’s laws.

In some cases, you may be able to get your money back if your RV is a lemon. This will depend on the specific laws in your state and the details of your case. In general, you may be entitled to a refund of the purchase price or a replacement vehicle. However, you may need to go to court to seek this type of compensation.

California Lemon Law imposes a four year deadline to file a Lemon Law claim.

The four year limit typically starts from when you first experienced warrantable problems with the RV.

California lemon laws will not protect the buyer of a product purchased without a warranty, like a vehicle purchased “as-is”. However, if you feel you were misled into waiving your warranty then you may still be protected.
