Dodge Lemon Law Lawyer California

Originally founded in 1900 as the Dodge Brothers Company, Dodge vehicles remain a common sight on California streets and highways, thanks to their popular lineup of SUVs and performance models. While both new and Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Dodge vehicles are highly sought after, certain model years have common issues with the engine, transmission, electrical system, steering, and brakes. If you’re a Dodge owner dealing with significant defects and failed repair attempts, your vehicle might qualify for a Lemon Law case in California.

Is Your Dodge a Lemon?

Do you know what qualifies a vehicle as a lemon? In California, consumers are protected by the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, commonly known as the California Lemon Law. This law applies to new and CPO vehicles. If an authorized dealer fails to repair your Dodge after a reasonable number of attempts or refuses service, they are required to offer you a cash settlement, buyback, refund, or replacement vehicle.

We cannot stress enough how important it is to know your rights under the Lemon Law. At Strategic Legal Practices, we’ll make sure the law is upheld so you can get the settlement you deserve.

Common Dodge Models and Known Issues

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

Dodge Journey — Drivers of this SUV have experienced loss of power, misfiring cylinders, and transmission gear slippage.
Dodge Charger — Commonly reported defects with the Charger include early brake wear, difficulty steering, and engine stalling.
Dodge Durango — Concerns with the Durango include water seeping into the electrical system and uneven brake pad wear.
Dodge Challenger — Some issues drivers have reported with their Challenger include brake pedal vibrations, rough shifting, and excessive noise from the suspension system.
Dodge Hornet — This model commonly has issues with the sensor system turning on randomly, brake pedal collapsing, and parking brake suddenly activating.

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

Transmission problems — harsh shift, slipping, shuddering, hesitation on acceleration, jerking, transmission failure, transmission updates/reprogramming
Engine problems — rough idle, stalling, stop/start failure, loss of power, no start, oil leak, coolant leak, check engine light, engine failure, engine updates/reprogramming
Electrical problems — infotainment screen goes blank, radio and/or reverse camera glitches or malfunctions, infotainment screen freezes, failure to connect to smart devices, disabling of navigation features, illumination of various warning lights
Brake problems — grinding, pulsation in the pedal or steering wheel, car pulls to one side when braking
Air conditioning problems — warmer air flow, less powerful airflow, overheating, fluid leaks

We recommend checking on Dodge recalls and technical service bulletins regularly. It’s important to take care of these issues for your safety and building a Lemon Law case.

Know your rights when it comes to a faulty Dodge

You’ve shelled out good money for your new or used vehicle, and if it’s under warranty, you expect smooth driving. But by the number of recalls, class-action suits, and Lemon Law claims filed against Dodge, you know that’s not always the case.

A recent significant recall involved the 2018 Dodge Journey and the 2018–2019 Dodge Grand Caravan. Approximately 154,000 of these vehicles were affected by issues with the rear brake caliper pistons, which resulted in reduced braking performance and the possibility of a potential safety hazard.
