Jeep Lemon Law Lawyer in Irvine, Orange County

Jeep is synonymous with adventure and rugged performance, offering vehicles designed for off-road exploration and on-road comfort. However, even Jeep models can experience recurring defects that may qualify them as lemons under California’s Lemon Law. If you’ve faced persistent problems with your Jeep, you may be entitled to compensation, a replacement vehicle, or a refund.

Common Jeep recalls and defects

While Jeep vehicles are built for durability and versatility, certain models have been subject to recalls and reported defects, including:

• Engine issues: Problems such as stalling, excessive oil consumption, misfires, and overheating.
• Transmission problems: Complaints about rough shifting, slipping gears, and transmission failures.
• Electrical malfunctions: Faulty sensors, infotainment system glitches, and issues with electrical wiring.
• Brake system concerns: Premature wear on brake pads, ABS malfunctions, and electronic braking issues.
• Suspension problems: Abnormal noises, uneven handling, and premature suspension component wear.
• Fuel system defects: Leaks, fuel pump malfunctions, and poor fuel efficiency.

These defects not only compromise the performance and safety of your vehicle but may also qualify you for relief under California’s Lemon Law if they persist after multiple repair attempts.

How do I know if my Jeep is a lemon?

Your Jeep may be a lemon if, during the first 18,000 miles or first 18 months, any of the following occurred:

• Substantial safety issue: The dealer attempted two (2) or more times to fix the same issue that can cause serious bodily injury or death.
• Non-substantial safety issue: The dealer attempted four (4) or more times to fix the same issue.
• Out of service: Your car was out for a total of more than 30 days for any repair.

Other considerations:

• Manufactured in the last 5 years.
• Within the original manufacturer’s warranty.

What happens next if my Jeep is a lemon?

If your Jeep is a lemon, there may be several options available, each with its own benefits:

• Buyback: The manufacturer repurchases your vehicle, compensating you for your payments (including down payment and monthly payments), registration, and certain damages. Your Jeep is now officially a lemon law buyback!
• Recall: The manufacturer notifies all vehicle owners of a defect that needs to be fixed. Unlike buybacks, not all lemons are recalled, but you can still receive compensation for your damages.

What if my Jeep doesn’t meet these requirements?

Even if your Jeep cannot meet the above requirements, you may still have a valid lemon law claim against Jeep. Many customers bear the burden of driving a defective car simply because they are not fully aware of their rights and assume they don’t have a valid claim.

Options include:

• Buyback or Compensation: The manufacturer may buy back your lemon or compensate you for the time the car was defective, allowing you to cash and keep your lemon.
• Recall Notification: Manufacturers may issue recalls for major safety issues, ensuring the defect is addressed.

At Alipour Law Group, APC, our combined engineering and legal expertise bridges the gap for you, protecting you against your defective Jeep.

California Lemon Law and Your Rights

California’s Lemon Law protects consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles that manufacturers cannot repair after a reasonable number of attempts. If your Jeep has been subject to repeated repairs or has spent significant time out of service, you may be entitled to:

• A replacement vehicle: A new car that is free of defects.
• A full refund: Recovery of the purchase price, including taxes and fees.
• Additional compensation: Payment for diminished vehicle value and related costs.

California law also requires the manufacturer to pay your attorney fees if your Lemon Law claim is successful, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket for our services.
