2017 Chevrolet Cruze Lemon Law Buyback For Repeated Repair Attempts

Posted on by

Our lemon law client was excited about his new 2017 Chevrolet Cruze.

His first visit was at 747 miles on July 6, 2017. He was hearing a squeaky noise while driving his vehicle. The other problem that was presented at that visit was that while moving the driver side seat back it made a very loud noise. The Chevrolet authorized dealership had the vehicle for 20 days.

The next visit was on September 29th. His key FOB and the WiFi were both not working. The left front seat was making a rumbling noise when moving the seat from front or rear. He was also seeing the no key detected message coming on.

The 3rd visit was on May 8, 2018. His complaints at the time were the check engine light was on, the vehicle had a rough idle, he was hearing a metal tapping sound when driving at parking lot speeds and making turns which were coming from the rear of the vehicle. The Driver’s seat was also making a loud noise when moving the seat forwards or backwards.

On April 9, 2019 he brought the vehicle in again to the dealership. He was hearing a metallic rattle noise which appeared to be coming from behind the glove box. There was also a problem with the left front tire losing air and the passenger side rear tire losing air.

He was back at the dealership about 5 weeks later because both passenger side tires were losing air. The radio was also having some problems in that it would suddenly freeze.

July 23rd he brought the vehicle back to the Chevy dealership because it was pulling to the right and the suspension was feeling funny. He was also hearing a grinding noise from the right front wheel while driving. The key not detected message was coming on intermittently. The cabin air filter and air filter element needed to be replaced.

The last visit was about a week later. The driver’s side front seat back rest was falling when reclining and the key not detected message was displaying intermittently when trying to start the vehicle.

At this point our client was frustrated and called our office and spoke with California Lemon Law Attorney, Barry L. Edzant. Barry asked him to email us some documents to review. After signing a retainer agreement, a letter was sent to General Motors Corporation demanding that they buy back the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze under the California Lemon Law. GMC agreed to repurchase the vehicle and reimburse our client for his down payment, all monthly payments made, reimburse for registration and pay off the vehicle less a mileage deduction allowed under the law. They also paid all the attorney fees.

Our client purchased a 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe and was very happy.

Her first visit to the Chevrolet dealership was on April 9, 2019 because the heater was blowing out luke warm air when she had the temperature up to 83-85 degrees. It also was having a rough idle in the morning.

The next visit was on August 12 due to the fact that the Tahoe had a knocking engine noise upon start up.

She was back again on October 7th because the cold idle was idling intermittently, and after the vehicle had warmed up, there was a loud knock noise coming from the engine. Also when the HVAC control was set to any temperature above 75 degrees, the air was hot.

She brought the vehicle to the dealership again on November 18th. The check engine light was on, the engine was running rough when at a complete stop and while using the AC and setting it to a low temp, the AC was blowing out cold air and then would become warm air.

The last visit was on January 27, 2020 and the check engine light was on again.

This is when she called to talk to Barry at the Law Office of Barry L. Edzant as she was very frustrated and wanted to know what her rights were under the California Lemon Law. After speaking with him and his reviewing some paperwork, Barry felt that she met the criteria of the California Lemon Law and our law firm was retained.

GMC decided to repurchase the 2018 Chevy Tahoe. The manufacturer reimbursed our client for the down payment, all payments made to date, paid off the loan, paid for the registration, less a mileage deduction allowed under the California Lemon Law. They also paid for all attorney fees. Our client was so excited about the outcome.

Shortly after filing our demand, GM agreed to repurchase the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse, pay off the balance of the lease and reimburse our client for his down payment and monthly payments. GM also paid our client’s attorney’s fees. The only cost was a usage fee as allowed under the California Lemon Law.

California Lemon Law Buyback For 2014 Chevrolet Corvette

Posted on by

The owner of a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, purchased in November 2013, returned to her GM dealership in April 2016 when she first started having trouble with her car. She subsequently provided her dealer six (6) more repair opportunities before she called us for help.

When she contacted the Law Offices of Delsack & Associates, P.C., she told us her vehicle was experiencing a phenomenon called “Tire Hop”, a problem caused by imperfect steering geometry and sticky tires. She told us it caused a chattering noise from the rear of the car and the tires would slip when turning at low speed and tight steering angles. In addition, the drivers window, radio, cooling system, and fueling system were defective and the instrument panel would black out under normal operating conditions.

After trying unsuccessfully to have these defects repaired until December 10, 2015, our client retained us to represent her in her demand for repurchase of the vehicle under the California lemon laws. Within a short time our firm was able to negotiate a repurchase of the defective vehicle. GM also paid off her lien holder and paid for her attorney’s fees. Our client was delighted with the outcome and happy to be rid of her dangerous car.

Don’t let problems affect the safety of your vehicle. If you have had three (3) or more repair attempts for the same or similar substantial problem, two (2) repair attempts for a safety related problem, or your vehicle has been out of service in the hands of an authorized dealer for more than 30 days during the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, it could be a lemon.
