Ford Lemon Law Lawyer
If your Ford has spent more time in the shop than on the road, you may be wondering if it qualifies under California’s Lemon Law. Generally, this law requires multiple repair attempts for the same issue, unless a substantial safety concern is present. If your Ford has been subject to several repairs or has been in the shop for over 30 days without resolution, it might just be a lemon.
Example of a Recent Ford Lemon Law Case 2019 Ford Mustang
This 2019 Ford Mustang was under a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and despite these protections, it developed significant issues. Below is a breakdown of the problem and why it was significant.
Repair #1: Hill Assist Unavailable
The first and only major issue in this case was with the Hill Assist function, a crucial feature designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on a hill. In this instance, the Hill Assist feature became completely unavailable, posing a substantial safety risk, particularly in hilly areas where this feature is essential for smooth and safe driving.
Despite the vehicle being taken in for repairs, the Hill Assist defect was never resolved, and the car remained in the shop for over 30 days. The lack of resolution over such an extended period made this vehicle an ideal candidate for a Lemon Law claim.
Case Outcome
Due to the persistent issues with the Hill Assist feature and the excessive time spent in the shop, the owner of this 2019 Ford Mustang successfully qualified for a vehicle buyback from Ford. The buyback included a full refund of the vehicle’s purchase price, plus any applicable taxes and fees, making the owner whole after an extensive period of frustration.
Why Defects Like These Are Serious
When systems like Hill Assist fail in a vehicle, it’s more than an inconvenience—it’s a safety hazard. In this case, the driver could have faced dangerous driving conditions, especially in areas with steep inclines. The failure to repair such a crucial feature not only made driving the Ford vehicle risky but also highlighted the manufacturer's inability to resolve the defect within a reasonable timeframe.
Persistent issues like these are what make Lemon Law cases viable. If your Ford vehicle has experienced similar problems, California Lemon Law ensures that you are compensated, whether through a buyback, replacement vehicle, or cash settlement.
