Lemon Law

Many times when consumers complain to the dealer or the auto manufacturer about their car's problems these complaints fall on deaf ears.  The dealer will pass the consumer from person to person or tell them to contact the manufacturer and the manufacturer will do the same.  This continuous bouncing from person to person typically does not end until the consumer obtains legal representation.  Once an attorney contacts the dealer or manufacturer on behalf of the consumer the other side starts to take the matter very serious.  Why?  Because the California Lemon Law provides that the manufacturer will have to pay the consumer's attorney's fees if their vehicle qualifies for repurchase or exchange.  In addition, an auto manufacturer may be penalized for purposely negating their responsibility to address the issue.  Therefore, the auto companies attempt to resolve the issue as soon as possible to keep attorney's fees down and to avoid bad faith penalties.  It is not unheard of for attorney's fees to sometimes exceed the amount the consumer receives from the manufacturer in a repurchase transaction.  If you are getting the runaround regarding your complaints to the dealer or manufacturer it is in your best interest to contact the Law Office of M. Alex Yneges now, at (949) 999-2003, for a free consultation.
