California's
Lemon Law was recently revised, adding valuable new protection for
consumers of new vehicles purchased or leased in California.
Under this new revision, a "repair attempt" under the
statute is no longer limited to an actual "repair" under
warranty. Under the new revision, so long as the consumer has a
warranty Repair Order written with the complaint plainly stated,
whether the authorized dealer service department effects repairs -
or not - is of no concern to the consumer, and the visit is
counted as a "repair attempt visit" under the California
lemon law.
This
is great news for consumers as it removes an auto manufacturers
defense of "could not duplicate complaint", which has been
a long-held defense ploy in automobile lemon law cases. Now the
consumer simply gives the automobile manufacturer a opportunity
to repair. The consumer no longer has to worry if they made a repair
or not.
