Here’s what car manufacturers don’t want you to know! 🚗 When buying a car, you might be asked to sign an arbitration clause. 📑 This could seriously limit your rights if your car ends up being a lemon! Arbitration often favors the manufacturer and prevents you from taking your case to court, where you’d likely get a much fairer trial. ⚖️ By opting out of the arbitration clause before you sign, you keep your right to sue the manufacturer and potentially save thousands of dollars. 💸 But be careful—this decision is often time-sensitive, with some contracts giving you just 30 days to act. Don’t sign away your rights without knowing it! Have you ever been stuck in arbitration and couldn’t take your case to court? Let’s talk about it in the comments! #LemonLaw #ConsumerRights #CarBuyingTips #KnowYourRights #LegalHelp #CarProblems #ProtectYourself #AvoidArbitration

❓Is your vehicle a Lemon? 🍋🚗 How does the California Lemon Law impact car manufacturers? ⚖️ California's Lemon Law protects consumers by requiring auto manufacturers to either replace or repurchase vehicles that have substantial defects affecting their use, value, or safety.  This law impacts manufacturers by compelling them to address recurring issues and maintain high-quality standards to avoid costly replacements or buybacks. 💲 Compliance with the law also drives manufacturers to improve customer service and product reliability to minimize legal and financial repercussions. 👍 Being aware of your rights allows you to ask for a new vehicle or a refund if yours is faulty and cannot be fixed.

California’s Lemon Law typically applies to new or used vehicles purchased from a dealership with a warranty. When it comes to vehicles purchased from private sellers, the Lemon Law usually does not apply unless the vehicle was sold with a transferable manufacturer’s warranty or some type of extended warranty. So, if you're buying from a private party, it’s important to check if the car is still under warranty to potentially benefit from Lemon Law protections. Have you bought a car from a private seller? It’s worth double-checking your options! --- Call us for a FAST & FREE Consultation - 877-536-6603 #TheBarryLawFirm

A DOSE OF LAW | Squeezing out repairs Published 22 November 2024, The Daily Tribune The Philippine Lemon Law provides recourse to consumers who experience persistent defects in a new motor vehicle within 12 months from the original delivery date or within the first 20,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. This defect or condition is referred to as a “nonconformity” which substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of a brand-new motor vehicle and which, in turn, prevents it from conforming to the manufacturer’s or distributor’s standards or specifications which ultimately cannot be repaired. Dean Nilo Divina discusses consumer rights and obligations under the Lemon Law. Read it here: https://bit.ly/3Zh7eo2 #ADoseOfLaw #consumer #automotive #car #lemon #law

Supply chain contract law in Michigan is evolving at a rapid pace, with several new decisions building off of our work on the AirBoss case. We discuss the latest development in our blog post below. Bottom line: all suppliers should take a fresh look at their core contract documents (Supply Agreements, POs, Terms & Conditions, etc.) to ensure they pass legal muster.

If you discover your Chrysler is on the recall list, prioritize your safety by scheduling repairs with an authorized dealer. Following the manufacturer’s instructions carefully is essential, primarily if the defect affects critical systems like brakes or the engine. Should your car continue to have issues despite repairs, it may qualify as a lemon under the law. Persistent defects that affect the vehicle’s functionality can lead to a valid claim, allowing you to seek a refund or replacement. Our experienced lemon law attorney in San Diego can help evaluate your case and guide you through the following steps. If your Chrysler model is part of this recall, it’s critical to be aware of potential safety risks. These can range from electrical malfunctions to defective brakes, which could lead to dangerous situations on the road. Chrysler has initiated this recall to prevent such risks, but if your vehicle is still problematic after repairs, it could be classified as a lemon. Chrysler’s recall affects over 1.26 million vehicles, and owners must act. If you experience unresolved issues with your car after repairs, you might have a lemon law case. Contact us today at (619) 235-0137 to discuss your options and ensure your vehicle is safe and compliant with California’s lemon law. #Chrysler #ChryslerRecall #lemonlaw #premierlegalapc

𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹'𝘀 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄-𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 GMSR's clients discovered that their used vehicle was defective, but the manufacturer refused to repair or replace it.  They sued the manufacturer under California's lemon law, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, which requires manufacturers to either replace defective cars or offer the consumer a refund.  The trial court sustained the manufacturer’s demurrer, following a recent opinion, 𝘙𝘰𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘻 𝘷. 𝘍𝘊𝘈 𝘜𝘚, 𝘓𝘓𝘊 (2022) 77 Cal.App.5th 209. The Court of Appeal's published opinion reversed the judgment and disagreed with 𝘙𝘰𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘻.  Agreeing with both GMSR and a more long-standing Court of Appeal opinion, 𝘑𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘯 𝘷. 𝘉𝘔𝘞 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢, 𝘐𝘯𝘤. (1995) 35 Cal.App.4th 112, the Court of Appeal held that the Act's repair-or-replace remedy applies to vehicles purchased used if the manufacturer's original warranty still hasn't expired.  Therefore, a consumer who purchases a previously-owned vehicle with an unexpired warranty can still invoke lemon law protections to enforce that warranty.  The Court of Appeal reasoned that the statute's plain language compels that result, and emphasized that in the nearly 30 years since 𝘑𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘯 was decided, the Legislature could have amended the law, but did not. This opinion is the first to address the split between 𝘙𝘰𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘻 and 𝘑𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘯.  Although 𝘙𝘰𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘻 held that the lemon law's refund-or-replace remedy does not apply to used vehicles, the California Supreme Court has granted review. https://lnkd.in/gCFzp5SY #appeals #lemonlaw Cindy Tobisman Joseph B.
