A “lemon” refers to a vehicle, including cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, etc., with a defect. This issue may have arisen immediately after purchase or much later, and despite attempts to fix it, mechanics cannot resolve it. To pursue an Isuzu lemon law claim in California, you must have made a “reasonable number of attempts” to get your vehicle fixed before taking legal action. While the law doesn’t specify the exact number of reasonable repair attempts, giving the dealership a sincere chance to fix it is a prerequisite.
According to California’s lemon law, your Isuzu must have “nonconformities,” meaning any defect covered by Honda’s original warranty that significantly impairs the vehicle’s safety, use, or value. It’s not necessary for the defect to directly endanger you. For instance, if the car’s automatic mirrors work unpredictably, this alone could form the basis for a lemon law claim. Or if the radio malfunctions, this too can be a proper basis for a lemon law claim.
The process starts by filing a legal claim against the manufacturer. Our attorneys can do this for you. We expect resistance because auto manufacturers work hard to defeat lemon law claims and reduce financial payouts. But we are aggressive and know how to win. We are not intimidated by the manufacturers’ attorneys and are determined to secure the best possible outcome on behalf of our clients. To prevail in an Isuzu lemon law claim, you will have to:
That’s why it’s important that you have proof that you attempted to have the vehicle fixed — keep all receipts, work orders, and used parts from each one of your repair appointments.
Yes. The statute of limitations under California’s lemon law is four years from thdate you knew or should have known that the vehicle was a lemon. Generally, the sooner you file, the better. If you have purchased or leased a lemon, start collecting copies of your repair bills and call a California lemon law attorney right away. The longer you wait, the more frustrated you will become.
In California, choosing a lemon law attorney is an important decision, and Neale & Fhima stands out as the top choice for several compelling reasons:
What should I do if I believe my Isuzu vehicle is a lemon?
If you believe your Isuzu vehicle may qualify as a lemon, you should promptly notify the manufacturer, providing them with the necessary opportunity to repair the vehicle.
What remedies are available to consumers under the California Isuzu lemon law?
If a vehicle is deemed a lemon, the consumer is entitled to a replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price, less a reasonable allowance for use. Additionally, the manufacturer may be responsible for the consumer’s attorney fees and costs. Or the consumer can opt for a cash-and-keep settlement, wherein the consumer keeps the vehicle (any financial obligations tied to the vehicle remain) and accepts a cash settlement.
Do I need an attorney to pursue a claim under the California Isuzu lemon law?
While it is not required, consulting with an attorney experienced in lemon law cases is highly recommended. An attorney can provide valuable guidance and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.
Can a manufacturer dispute a lemon law claim?
Yes, a manufacturer may dispute a lemon law claim. They may argue that the defects do not meet the statutory criteria, or they may contest the number of repair attempts. This is why having legal representation can be crucial to navigating such disputes effectively.
