How Does The Lemon Law Work In California?

Common Problems With Lincoln Navigator

The Lincoln Navigator is a luxury SUV known for its spaciousness, comfort, and array of features. However, like any vehicle, it has experienced certain issues over the years. Below is a detailed list of some common problems associated with the Lincoln Navigator:

#### Air Suspension Issues

Many Lincoln Navigators come equipped with an advanced air suspension system that provides a smoother ride. However, this system has been known to fail, causing the vehicle to sag, particularly in the rear. The air suspension system’s components can be susceptible to leaks or compressor failure, which often leads to expensive repairs. Owners may notice a rougher ride or a noticeable drop in the vehicle’s height.

These issues can range from minor annoyances, such as dashboard lights flickering, to significant inconveniences, such as malfunctioning door locks or window controls.

Understanding the California Lemon Law for Lincoln Navigator Owners

The California Lemon Law is a consumer protection statute designed to assist car buyers who unwittingly purchase defective vehicles. For Lincoln Navigator owners in California, this law can be invaluable if their vehicle turns out to be a “lemon.” The Lemon Law applies as long as the vehicle meets specific criteria, such as the defect being covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and it substantially impairing the vehicle’s use, value, or safety.

  2. Visit the Dealership: Take your Lincoln Navigator to an authorized dealership. Clearly explain the issues to the service advisor and request a written service report each time you visit.
  3. Keep All Documentation: Retain copies of every service report, repair order, and invoice. Ensure they include accurate descriptions of the problems and the work performed.
  4. Track Repair Attempts: Under the California Lemon Law, a vehicle may qualify if it has been subjected to a reasonable number of repair attempts. Keep a detailed list of each visit and the number of days your Navigator is in the shop.
  5. Communicate in Writing: When possible, correspond with the dealership and manufacturer in writing. Emails and letters serve as a paper trail to support your claim.

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.

Lincoln Navigator 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 Lincoln 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 Lincoln Navigator 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 Lincoln 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.

Lincoln Lemon-Law Attorneys With Experience

Lemon Law Associates of California specializes in helping consumers recover expenses or damages related to their Lincoln and Lincoln Navigator 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 Lincoln 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.
