Chevrolet trucks, SUVs, and cars are common across California, and when a persistent defect cannot be fixed under warranty, the lemon law may entitle the owner to a refund or a replacement vehicle.
The Hashemi Law Firm represents California owners and lessees of Chevrolet vehicles in lemon law claims under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. In most cases the manufacturer pays the consumer’s attorney fees, so there is no upfront cost to you.
Common Chevrolet issues we see include transmission and shifting problems, engine defects, electrical and infotainment faults, and recurring issues that return after repeated warranty repairs.
A defect qualifies when it substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety and the manufacturer cannot repair it after a reasonable number of attempts — often three or four attempts, as few as two for serious safety defects, or 30 or more cumulative days out of service.
If your Chevrolet qualifies, California law generally provides a buyback (a refund of what you paid, reduced by a statutory deduction for use before the defect was reported) or a comparable replacement vehicle, plus reimbursement of incidental costs and, where the manufacturer’s refusal was willful, a civil penalty of up to two times actual damages.
