Chevrolet Lemon Law Lawyer California

Founded in 1911 as a division of General Motors, Chevrolet produces cars, trucks, and SUVs that are highly popular among California drivers. Both new and Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Chevy models are known for their reliability, modern design, and agile performance, perfect for a busy, on-the-go lifestyle. However, Chevrolet isn’t without its problems. Common issues with Chevy models like the engine, transmission, and electrical system usually go resolved, but if you’ve experienced significant defects with multiple failed repair attempts, your Chevrolet could potentially qualify for a Lemon Law case.

If the manufacturer or an authorized dealer has failed to repair or refused service on your Chevrolet, our Lemon Law lawyers at Strategic Legal Practices can help. Fill out our free case evaluation form to see if you have a Lemon law case on your hands.

Is your Chevrolet a lemon?

How do you know if your Chevrolet is a lemon? California consumers are protected by the Lemon Law, also known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, when they purchase a new or CPO vehicle. When a manufacturer or authorized dealership is unable to repair your Chevy’s defects to warranty standards after a reasonable number of attempts, the California Lemon Law states that they must offer a buyback, cash settlement, refund, or even a replacement vehicle.

As a California driver, it’s critical to know your rights under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. The Strategic Legal Practices team is dedicated to battling corporations and defending drivers like you.

Common Chevrolet Models and Known Issues

In the past, the following Chevrolet models were considered lemons:

Chevrolet Silverado — This model has had issues with excessive engine vibrations and seat belts that do not properly secure passengers.
Chevrolet Equinox — Commonly reported issues with the Equinox include excessive oil consumption and blown gasket heads.
Chevrolet Camaro — Owners have reported continuous transmission slipping, engine malfunctions, and excessive fuel consumption.
Chevrolet Tahoe — Drivers noted issues with the electrical system related to safety features and shifting into neutral without touching the gear shift.
Chevrolet Suburban — Air conditioning defects, vibrating at speeds over 45 miles per hour, and transmission problems like grinding have been reported by drivers.

Here are five common Chevrolet problems (and symptoms) serious enough to warrant a California Lemon Law claim:

Electrical Glitches — malfunctioning dashboard display, faulty sensors, power window failures, infotainment problems, sticking ignition key, air conditioning issues, power lock malfunction
Transmission Troubles — slipping gears, rough shifting, loud noises, jerking, stuttering, drivetrain issues
Engine Problems — excessive oil consumption, engine misfires, reduced fuel efficiency, fuel pump failure, intake manifold gasket failure, loss of power
Suspension and Steering Complications — poor handling, uneven tire wear, flimsy wheel wells, lower control arm rattling
Brake System Failures — premature wear of pads and rotors, squealing or grinding noises, ABS malfunctions, soft brake pedal

We recommend staying on top of Chevrolet recalls and technical service bulletins. Taking care of these issues immediately is crucial for your safety, as well as building a Lemon Law case.

Know your rights when it comes to a faulty Chevrolet

You’ve shelled out good money for your new or CPO vehicle, and as long as it’s under warranty, you expect smooth driving. But by the number of recalls, class-action suits, and Lemon Law claims filed against Chevrolet, that’s not always the case. For example:

As part of Chevy’s commitment to safety, they conducted a recall of 2017-2022 Bolt EVs having identified the simultaneous presence of two rare manufacturing defects in the same battery cells as the root cause of potential battery fires.

A judge granted class action certification to a lawsuit accusing the manufacturer of knowingly selling cars with faulty transmissions that would lurch and shudder when driving, creating a safety hazard. According to the suit, dealers were directed to tell customers that harsh shifts were “normal” or “characteristic.”

In October of 2008, Chevrolet’s parent company, General Motors Corporation, agreed to repurchase a customer’s 2007 Uplander for the full purchase price plus all collateral charges, and to pay attorney’s fees associated with the vehicle and/or the Lemon Law case. The list of nonconformities included the engine overheating, severe vibrations when braking, bad bearings that ruined the tires, a roaring noise when driving, among other defects.
