#### Noise Levels at High Speeds

While the Lucid Air is generally viewed as a quiet vehicle, some owners have reported higher-than-expected wind and road noise at increased speeds. This has been attributed to potential sealing issues or design elements that could be optimized for better acoustics.

Understanding How the California Lemon Law Affects Lucid Air Owners

The California Lemon Law protects consumers who purchase or lease new vehicles, including luxury electric cars like the Lucid Air, by ensuring they receive a product that meets quality and performance standards. If a Lucid Air owner encounters significant defects or ongoing issues that affect the vehicle’s use, safety, or value, and these problems persist despite a reasonable number of repair attempts, the owner may be entitled to a replacement or refund under this law.

Criteria for Lemon Law Protection

To qualify for relief under the California Lemon Law, Lucid Air vehicles must typically meet the following criteria:

  • The vehicle must have a substantial defect covered by the warranty that occurs within a certain number of months or miles from the purchase date.
  • The manufacturer, through its dealers, must be unable to repair the vehicle after a reasonable number of attempts.
  • The defects must not be caused by owner abuse or unauthorized modifications.

Steps to Document Vehicle Problems Effectively

To ensure a smooth process under the Lemon Law, Lucid Air owners should meticulously document their vehicle’s issues and repair attempts. Follow these steps:

  1. Keep detailed records of all service appointments, repair orders, and communications with the dealership or manufacturer.
  2. Note the dates and duration of each repair attempt, and the issues addressed during each visit.
  3. Request and save copies of all diagnostic reports and service records.
  4. Maintain a personal log detailing the vehicle’s problems, impact on usability, and any safety concerns.

Lucid Air 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 Lucid 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 Lucid Air 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.
  • Expertise. Our 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 service. We 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.
  • Advocacy. We advocate for your rights against automakers and dealers to make sure that you secure justice.
  • Save time and money. You’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 Lucid 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.

Lucid Lemon-Law Attorneys With Experience

Lemon Law Associates of California specializes in helping consumers recover expenses or damages related to their Lucid and Lucid Air 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 Lucid 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.
