2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD California Lemon Law Buyback

Posted on by

The owner of a 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD contacted the Law Offices of Delsack & Associates after unsuccessfully trying to have her truck repaired for the fifth time. She told us her first repair attempt was at 598 miles for steering that pulled to the right, followed by repeated suspension problems that would make the vehicle difficult to control under certain driving conditions.

After analyzing our client’s potential lemon law case by reviewing the repair orders and purchase contract, we determined she had a valid claim to have the vehicle repurchased. Within a relatively short period after filing our demand, the manufacturer agreed to a buyback of the 2013 Sierra 3500 HD. GMC paid off the balance of the purchase and reimburse our client for her down payment and monthly payments; less the mileage fee allowed under the California Lemon Law. GMC also paid all her attorney fees. Our client could not have been happier to get rid of her vehicle and be reimbursed for the monies she had paid.
