Not all BYD Han vehicles are created equal.

Speaking with a professional is key to understanding your rights and navigating the legal process. At Lemon Law Associates of California, our experienced lawyers are available to guide you every step of the way. We have successfully helped numerous consumers across California and are ready to assist you 24/7 in securing the justice and compensation you deserve.

How Does The Lemon Law Work In California?

Common Problems With BYD Han

### 1. Battery Degradation

One of the common issues reported with the BYD Han is battery degradation over time. Owners have noticed a reduction in the range of the vehicle after several months or years of use. This can be attributed to several factors, such as frequent fast charging and high-temperature operation, which can accelerate the degradation process. Ensuring optimal charging practices and temperature management might help mitigate this issue. [Source](https://www.insideevs.com/news/478830/byd-han-long-term-degradation/)

### 2. Infotainment System Glitches

Owners of the BYD Han have reported glitches and lags in the infotainment system. These issues include unresponsive touchscreens, software crashes, and connectivity problems with smartphones. These problems can affect the overall user experience and require software updates or resets to fix. [Source](https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-reviews/byd-han-86253)

### 3. Build Quality Concerns

There have been complaints regarding the build quality of the BYD Han. Some owners have observed misaligned panels, interior rattles, and premature wear of materials within the vehicle. These issues often lead to concerns about the long-term durability and overall quality standards of the car. [Source](https://carbuzz.com/news/common-problems-with-byd-han)

### 4. Software Update Issues

Updating the vehicle’s software can sometimes lead to unexpected issues. Some BYD Han owners reported that post-update, certain features were either disabled or malfunctioned, necessitating further visits to the dealership for fixes. These problems can be inconvenient, especially if the update process is not seamless. [Source](https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/battery-durability-and-software-faults-byd-han)

### 5. Regenerative Braking System

The regenerative braking system, although praised for its efficiency, has been reported to be overly aggressive in some cases. This can result in uncomfortable driving experiences, where the vehicle decelerates too quickly when the driver lifts off the accelerator. Fine-tuning or adjusting the settings can be a solution, but some drivers prefer a more consistent feel. [Source](https://insideevs.com/reviews/453072/byd-han-review-problems-issues/)

### 6. Limited Availability of Parts

BYD Han owners in certain regions have reported difficulties in obtaining replacement parts due to limited availability. This can lead to longer repair times and increased inconvenience for those who encounter problems with their vehicles. The issue is especially pronounced in regions where BYD’s presence is not as strong.

### 7. Charging Network Compatibility

While the BYD Han is equipped for various charging options, some owners have faced issues with compatibility at certain public charging stations. This can be due to differences in plug types or communication errors between the vehicle and the charger. It’s often recommended for drivers to carry multiple adaptors and confirm compatibility beforehand.

These problems should be considered when evaluating the BYD Han, although it remains important to note that not all owners experience these issues, and the manufacturer may address many through ongoing updates and customer support.

What Vehicles are Covered?

The California Lemon Law covers a diverse array of vehicles, ensuring that consumers are protected regardless of the type of vehicle they purchase or lease. This includes:

  • New vehicles purchased or leased in California
  • Recreational vehicles (RVs)
  • Vans
  • Trucks
  • Motorcycles
  • Certain business vehicles

To qualify, the vehicle must be registered in California within 12 months of its original delivery and must have a “non-conformity” that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety. This comprehensive coverage ensures that whether you’re driving a family car, a work truck, or an RV, you have legal recourse if your vehicle turns out to be a lemon.

BYD Han FAQs

You’ve probably heard the term lemon discussed and know that you are protected under the California Lemon Law, but you might not know the exact details of the law. The California Lemon Law is actually a group of laws that fall under the umbrella of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. When signed into law in 1970, the act required all manufacturers to repurchase or replace defective items which could not be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts. The California Lemon Law applies to many different consumer products, but it most often applies to vehicles. Song-Beverly doesn’t require a specific number of repair attempts for motor vehicles, but it provides the following criteria for determining whether a new vehicle is a lemon:

If the following occurs within 18 months of purchase or lease or before the vehicle has 18,000 miles on its odometer, the law presumes the vehicle is a lemon:

  • The manufacturer or its agents (typically a dealership) have tried to repair a dangerous or deadly warranty issue two or more times.
  • The manufacturer or dealership has tried to fix the same warranty issue four or more times.
  • The vehicle has spent an aggregate total of 30 days in the shop for warranty problems.
  • Warranty issues are not a result of abuse, and they substantially reduce the use, value, or safety of the vehicle to the owner.

The California Lemon Law also applies to used vehicles under warranty by the manufacturer or the dealer. If you suspect your vehicle is a lemon, your attorney will guide you through the process and advise you on what parts of the Lemon Law apply to your individual situation. The Lemon Law covers the following new and used vehicles sold or leased in California:

  • Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans
  • The chassis, chassis cab, and drivetrain of an RV or motorhome
  • Dealer-owned vehicles and demo cars
  • Business vehicles
  • Personal vehicles

You aren’t required to have an attorney to make a California Lemon Law claim, but BYD manufacturers and dealers are faster to respond if you do, and you are more likely to get a positive outcome if you have a lawyer in your corner. Here are some of the ways in which Lemon Law Associates of California can help you with your BYD Han claim:

  • Deadlines. Filing a claim and handling communication with all of the involved parties during the process involves meeting many deadlines. Manufacturers will use missing these deadlines as grounds to deny your claim. We will make sure you meet any deadlines associated with your claim.
  • Eligibility. Not all defects are protected under the Lemon Law. Your attorney will verify your eligibility under California law.
  • ExpertiseOur firm focuses exclusively on Lemon Law claims, so we have in-depth knowledge to answer your questions and guide you through the claims process.
  • Client serviceWe prioritize client service by providing exceptional representation and keeping you abreast of developments in your case. We also pride ourselves on our availability and accessibility.
  • AdvocacyWe advocate for your rights against automakers and dealers to make sure that you secure justice.
  • Save time and moneyYou’ve already spent a great deal of money on a vehicle that is new to you. Dealing with a lemon costs additional time and money. In many cases, we can resolve your case quickly, without going to trial, so you can go about life as usual.

The California Lemon Law covers a wide range of vehicles, which includes all BYD vehicles. The law applies to both new and used vehicles, as long as they are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty.

If your Lemon Law case is successful, you could be entitled to a refund of your purchase price or lease payments, a replacement vehicle, or another form of compensation. The specifics depend on the details of your case and the applicable laws.

Starting the process is easy. You can begin by contacting us through our website or by phone. Our team will review the details of your case, discuss your options, and guide you through the necessary steps to initiate your Lemon Law claim.

While it’s possible to pursue a Lemon Law claim without legal representation, manufacturers often have experienced legal teams on their side. Having a skilled Lemon Law attorney increases your chances of securing a favorable outcome and ensuring your rights are protected throughout the process.

BYD Lemon-Law Attorneys With Experience

Lemon Law Associates of California specializes in helping consumers recover expenses or damages related to their BYD and BYD Han lemon vehicles under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Civil Code Section 1790 et seq.). A vehicle is considered a “Lemon” if a defect or “nonconformity” substantially impairs its use, value, and/or safety. This Act covers not only cars but also motorcycles if street legal, RV chassis, and motor homes’ propulsion parts.

If BYD fails to repair the vehicle after a sufficient number of attempts, as determined by the type of problem and unique circumstances, the consumer may be eligible for a full buyback (repurchase) or a replacement of the lemon vehicle. Additionally, the Act offers a replacement remedy for other consumer goods like boats, travel trailers, or 5th wheels.
