Do I Still Have a Lemon Law Claim If My Vehicle Is Out of Warranty?

A lemon vehicle is a car or truck that has manufacturer’s defect on the vehicle, right as it left the auto manufacturer’s plant or assembly line. This can also mean that the same vehicle has had a defect on it hidden from sight or use, even while the car or truck is sitting at the car dealership showroom or in the dealership lot.

If your vehicle has a manufacturer’s defect, how can it be your fault? You did not mass produce the car or truck, you did not own the assembly line where the car or truck was made, and you are not responsible for how your brand-new supposed to be perfect car was made. Then it is the sole responsibility of the auto manufacturer to have a quality control system in place, to ensure that all cars sold to consumers are free from manufacturer’s defects.

These defects are going to apply to a car to make it a lemon vehicle. It will not matter if the car is out of warranty, if the vehicle is a lemon car because of the manufacturer’s defects latent on the vehicle. In the case that you are sold a defective automobile, then you will need to take it back to the car dealership where you bought it to have it repaired. If foe some reason you are unable to go back to where you bought the car, you can go to the same make car dealership in another region, to get the car repaired for the manufacturer’s defects on the car.

You Can Go to a Different Toyota Car Dealership to Ask for Repairs to Your Toyota Lemon Car

All dealerships within a network of a make and model will have an agreement with the auto dealership, to repair their cars under their model and make contracts. For example, if you buy a Toyota at a car dealership in X City, you can go to Y, Z or A City to a Toyota dealership to have your car repaired for a manufacturer’s defect. The only issue to getting your car repaired if it is a lemon car with a manufacturer’s defect, is that the available slot for repair at one car dealership repair shop may be busier in one place then at another place. Therefore, if X City Toyota shop is busy, you can possibly go to Z or A City Toyota car dealership to get your lemon vehicle repaired.

It is important that your car is out of warranty, but it may not have been your fault that your car was not repaired in time out of that manufacturer’s warranty. For example, if you have a record that you were trying to get your car repaired for the manufacturer’s defects on the vehicle, but the car dealership shop could not get you in, that may not have been your fault. In those cases, the courts will look to extenuating circumstances, to help you to get the recovery compensation you deserve when you have a lemon vehicle that is out of warranty at this time.

You Are Entitled to Get Your Lemon Car Repaired, Even If the Car Dealership Repair Shop Keeps Being Busy

The lemon laws are clear that they expect you to try to get your car repaired, before you go to any next steps. But if you are trying to get your car in for repairs and the car dealership shop cannot take you because they are insanely busy, that might not be your fault.

If the first repair attempt for the problem or defect occurred during the warranty period, then the vehicle may still qualify for a refund or replacement, if other requirements are met. Call us for a further explanation of these warranties, and what you can do to recover compensation on your claim for damages and losses, when you have an out of warranty lemon vehicle.

Recent Victories for Consumers with Sudden Acceleration Defective Lemon Cars

There has been a $1.6 billion class action lawsuit settlement in California, from customers who bought Toyota vehicles with lowered value for cars on account of a sudden acceleration defect. Many people were injured and had serious car accidents, when their cars just ran away out from under them and accelerated on their own.

The settlement package will be given to consumers who bought the affected Toyota cars and trucks, and will be from $125 to around $10,000, depending on consumer losses and damages submitted for car and truck value and depreciation noted.
