Volkswagen Lemon Law Lawyer

Volkswagen is globally recognized as a leading manufacturer known for vehicles that blend reliability, affordability, and style. However, despite Volkswagen’s stellar reputation, even popular models occasionally roll off the assembly line with recurring defects, leaving frustrated owners stuck in perpetual repair cycles. If your Volkswagen has persistent issues, it might qualify as a lemon. Strategic Legal Practices can help.

Is Your Volkswagen a Lemon?

In California, the Lemon Law, officially known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, exists to protect consumers by ensuring manufacturers honor their warranties. If your new or Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Volkswagen suffers from significant defects affecting its safety, value, or functionality, even after multiple repair attempts from an authorized dealer, you may be entitled to relief.

Your Volkswagen might qualify under California Lemon Law if you’re facing persistent vehicle issues that authorized dealers can’t resolve, excessive downtime due to repeated repair attempts, or if the manufacturer or authorized dealer has refused service or delayed necessary repairs. Understanding your rights as a consumer is crucial. You may be eligible for a vehicle buyback, refund, replacement vehicle, or even a cash settlement. Strategic Legal Practices is dedicated to battling corporations and defending drivers like you.

Common Volkswagen Models and Known Issues

Volkswagen consistently produces popular vehicles, but certain models frequently become involved in lemon law cases. Here are five common Volkswagen problems (and symptoms) serious enough to warrant a California Lemon Law claim:

Electrical Glitches — malfunctioning infotainment systems, faulty sensors, power window failures, recurrent battery drain, overactive “check engine” light, ABS failure
Transmission Troubles — rough shifting, slipping gears, erratic shifting, no shifting, can’t be put into reverse, faulty clutch
Engine Problems — misfires, excessive oil consumption, reduced fuel efficiency, engine failure due to premature sludge build-up, coolant leaks, overheating
Emissions-Related Issues — not meeting emissions compliance, such as the “Dieselgate” scandal which involved manipulation of emissions tests, leading to vehicles exceeding regulatory emission limits
Suspension and Steering Complications — poor handling, excessive vibrations, uneven tire wear, clunking noises, faulty ball joints

It’s important to keep in mind that recalls and technical service bulletins from Volkswagen often identify these common issues, providing valuable documentation for your potential lemon law case. Reporting these common issues and preserving your service records significantly strengthens your claim.

Know Your Rights When It Comes to a Faulty Volkswagen

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 or recalls, class-action suits, and Lemon Law claims filed against Volkswagen, you know that’s not always the case. For example:

Certain 2018-2021 Atlas and 2020 Atlas Cross Sport vehicles are being recalled due to the passenger occupant detection system (PODS) experiencing a fault in the wiring, thereby deactivating the front passenger air bag when the seat is occupied. A remedy is currently under development and owners are advised not to use the front passenger seat until it is resolved.

These are just three examples of the legal actions VW has faced. Among the most commonly reported models are the Jetta, Golf, Beetle, Passat, Taos, Tiguan, but the truth is that any model with recurring problems could be a lemon. Even yours.
