How Does The Lemon Law Work In California?

Common Problems With Volvo S90

The Volvo S90 is a luxury sedan known for its elegance, comfort, and technological advancements. However, like any vehicle, it has its share of reported issues. Below is a detailed list of common problems associated with the Volvo S90. Each problem is broken down with an explanation.

#### Brake System Issues

Owners have reported concerns related to the S90’s brake system, primarily involving premature wear of the brake pads and discs. Some drivers experienced squeaking noises and reduced brake performance, requiring more frequent replacements than expected under normal wear conditions. This issue has been noted across several model years, suggesting a potential widespread concern. [Source](https://www.carcomplaints.com/Volvo/S90/2017/brakes/)

#### Infotainment System Glitches

While Volvo’s infotainment system is praised for its intuitive interface, some users have experienced glitches. Common problems include the system freezing, failure to start, or the screen going blank. Intermittent connectivity issues with Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay have also been reported, which can be inconvenient for users relying on seamless technology integration.

#### Transmission Problems

Some S90 models have been reported to have issues with the transmission, particularly concerning rough shifting and unexpected jerking during gear changes. These issues can affect driving comfort and may lead to costly repairs if not addressed promptly. It’s notable in earlier models but still relevant as a concern to potential buyers.

#### Electrical System Concerns

Electrical system issues have been reported in some Volvo S90 models, which may include problems with the vehicle’s battery draining faster than usual or malfunctioning electronic components. This can lead to inconvenience and potential safety concerns if vehicle systems fail suddenly. [Source](https://www.vehiclehistory.com/report/volvo/s90)

#### Sunroof Leaks

Some owners have reported leaks from the sunroof, which can lead to water ingress into the cabin. This is not only inconvenient but can also cause electrical issues or damage to the interior if not resolved quickly. Owners are advised to check the sunroof seals regularly and ensure they are intact. [Source](https://www.carrecalls.eu/volvo-s90-sunroof-leaks/)

#### Engine Performance Issues

While the engine in the S90 is generally reliable, some owners have experienced problems with engine performance, including unexpected stalling or failure to start. These issues can arise from software glitches or faulty components, such as sensors or fuel system parts. [Source](https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-reviews/volvo-s90-problems-78572)

These problems, while known, do not affect every Volvo S90, and many drivers report a positive ownership experience. Potential buyers should weigh these issues against the vehicle’s benefits and consider a thorough inspection or a certified pre-owned option for greater peace of mind.

What Vehicles are Covered?

The California Lemon Law covers a diverse array of vehicles, ensuring that consumers are protected regardless of the type of vehicle they purchase or lease. This includes:

  • New vehicles purchased or leased in California
  • Recreational vehicles (RVs)
  • Vans
  • Trucks
  • Motorcycles
  • Certain business vehicles

To qualify, the vehicle must be registered in California within 12 months of its original delivery and must have a “non-conformity” that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety. This comprehensive coverage ensures that whether you’re driving a family car, a work truck, or an RV, you have legal recourse if your vehicle turns out to be a lemon.

Volvo S90 FAQs

You’ve probably heard the term lemon discussed and know that you are protected under the California Lemon Law, but you might not know the exact details of the law. The California Lemon Law is actually a group of laws that fall under the umbrella of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. When signed into law in 1970, the act required all manufacturers to repurchase or replace defective items which could not be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts. The California Lemon Law applies to many different consumer products, but it most often applies to vehicles. Song-Beverly doesn’t require a specific number of repair attempts for motor vehicles, but it provides the following criteria for determining whether a new vehicle is a lemon:

If the following occurs within 18 months of purchase or lease or before the vehicle has 18,000 miles on its odometer, the law presumes the vehicle is a lemon:

  • The manufacturer or its agents (typically a dealership) have tried to repair a dangerous or deadly warranty issue two or more times.
  • The manufacturer or dealership has tried to fix the same warranty issue four or more times.
  • The vehicle has spent an aggregate total of 30 days in the shop for warranty problems.
  • Warranty issues are not a result of abuse, and they substantially reduce the use, value, or safety of the vehicle to the owner.

The California Lemon Law also applies to used vehicles under warranty by the manufacturer or the dealer. If you suspect your vehicle is a lemon, your attorney will guide you through the process and advise you on what parts of the Lemon Law apply to your individual situation. The Lemon Law covers the following new and used vehicles sold or leased in California:

  • Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans
  • The chassis, chassis cab, and drivetrain of an RV or motorhome
  • Dealer-owned vehicles and demo cars
  • Business vehicles
  • Personal vehicles

You aren’t required to have an attorney to make a California Lemon Law claim, but Volvo manufacturers and dealers are faster to respond if you do, and you are more likely to get a positive outcome if you have a lawyer in your corner. Here are some of the ways in which Lemon Law Associates of California can help you with your Volvo S90 claim:

  • Deadlines. Filing a claim and handling communication with all of the involved parties during the process involves meeting many deadlines. Manufacturers will use missing these deadlines as grounds to deny your claim. We will make sure you meet any deadlines associated with your claim.
  • Eligibility. Not all defects are protected under the Lemon Law. Your attorney will verify your eligibility under California law.
  • ExpertiseOur firm focuses exclusively on Lemon Law claims, so we have in-depth knowledge to answer your questions and guide you through the claims process.
  • Client serviceWe prioritize client service by providing exceptional representation and keeping you abreast of developments in your case. We also pride ourselves on our availability and accessibility.
  • AdvocacyWe advocate for your rights against automakers and dealers to make sure that you secure justice.
  • Save time and moneyYou’ve already spent a great deal of money on a vehicle that is new to you. Dealing with a lemon costs additional time and money. In many cases, we can resolve your case quickly, without going to trial, so you can go about life as usual.

The California Lemon Law covers a wide range of vehicles, which includes all Volvo vehicles. The law applies to both new and used vehicles, as long as they are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty.

If your Lemon Law case is successful, you could be entitled to a refund of your purchase price or lease payments, a replacement vehicle, or another form of compensation. The specifics depend on the details of your case and the applicable laws.

Starting the process is easy. You can begin by contacting us through our website or by phone. Our team will review the details of your case, discuss your options, and guide you through the necessary steps to initiate your Lemon Law claim.

While it’s possible to pursue a Lemon Law claim without legal representation, manufacturers often have experienced legal teams on their side. Having a skilled Lemon Law attorney increases your chances of securing a favorable outcome and ensuring your rights are protected throughout the process.

Volvo Lemon-Law Attorneys With Experience

Lemon Law Associates of California specializes in helping consumers recover expenses or damages related to their Volvo and Volvo S90 lemon vehicles under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Civil Code Section 1790 et seq.). A vehicle is considered a “Lemon” if a defect or “nonconformity” substantially impairs its use, value, and/or safety. This Act covers not only cars but also motorcycles if street legal, RV chassis, and motor homes’ propulsion parts.

If Volvo fails to repair the vehicle after a sufficient number of attempts, as determined by the type of problem and unique circumstances, the consumer may be eligible for a full buyback (repurchase) or a replacement of the lemon vehicle. Additionally, the Act offers a replacement remedy for other consumer goods like boats, travel trailers, or 5th wheels.
