However, for many San Diego drivers, the dream of owning a Jeep has been interrupted by repeated breakdowns, defects, and extended dealership visits. Instead of weekend adventures, you’re wondering when your Jeep will be ready or lacking enough confidence in it to take that trip.

Understanding the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (California Lemon Law)

The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act otherwise known as California Lemon Law protects consumers who purchase or lease a vehicle with defects. To qualify for a California Lemon Law case, the defect must first occur while the vehicle is under manufacturer warranty and the dealer is provided a “reasonable number” of attempts to repair.

What counts as a “reasonable number” of repair attempts?

Safety Defects (2 Attempts)

Is your car dangerous? If you’re dealing with critical hazards like engine stalling, brake failure, or sudden power loss, the manufacturer doesn’t get endless chances. If they fail to fix a safety defect in two attempts or more, the law is on your side.

General Defects (4 Attempts)

Even non-emergency issues are unacceptable. Whether it’s a water leak, faulty windows, or a recurring sensor error, you shouldn’t have to live with a “nagging” problem. If the dealer fails to fix the same issue after four attempts, you likely have a claim.

30 Days Out of Service:

Your car belongs on the road, not the repair shop. Regardless of the number of repair attempts, if your vehicle is out of service for a cumulative 30 days or more for warranty work, it may automatically qualify as a lemon.

 If your Jeep qualifies as a lemon, the manufacturer is responsible for paying reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. This allows consumers to pursue claims without adding financial strain to an already frustrating situation.

Common Jeep Defects & Recalls

The Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, Cherokee, Compass, Renegade, and Grand Cherokee are frequently associated with Lemon Law cases. While every situation is unique, the following mechanical issues commonly appear in claims filed by San Diego Jeep owners.

Transmission Failures (10-Speed Automatic)

Jeep transmission complaints often involve hesitation during acceleration, rough shifting between gears, slipping, or sudden jerking at low speeds. Modern automatic transmissions can malfunction as the result of faulty software calibration or internal mechanical wear. Jeep dealers often try to resolve the issue with reprogramming attempts that may only temporarily mask the issue without resolving the underlying mechanical defect.

Engine & EcoBoost Cooling System Defects

Modern Jeeps depend heavily on integrated electronic systems. Faulty wiring harnesses, failing sensors, malfunctioning Totally Integrated Power Modules (TIPM), or defective control modules can trigger dashboard warning lights, disable safety features, or cause intermittent stalling. Electrical failures can be especially difficult to diagnose because they may occur sporadically, leaving service technicians unable to replicate the issue during short test drives.

Electrical & Wiring Malfunctions

The so-called “death wobble” primarily affects solid front axle vehicles like the Wrangler and Gladiator. It involves violent steering wheel oscillation after hitting a bump at highway speeds. Once the oscillation begins, the steering system can amplify vibration forces until the driver slows significantly. Multiple repairs — from replacing dampers to tightening suspension bolts — may fail to permanently correct the problem.

An experienced attorney knows how to analyze service records, identify qualifying repair patterns, and present evidence demonstrating substantial impairment. Working with a San Diego-based attorney also means familiarity with local Jeep dealerships and regional service practices — insight that can help strengthen your case.

The goal is not just to file paperwork. It’s to maximize compensation while minimizing stress.

Potential Outcomes: What Compensation Can You Get?

If your Jeep qualifies as a lemon, California law provides several potential remedies. The right outcome depends on your circumstances and financial goals.

Manufacturer Buyback (Refund)

This outcome entitles the registered owner reimbursement for the vehicle including the down payment, monthly payments made to date, registration, taxes, and the remaining loan balance. Essentially, the manufacturer buys back the vehicle. The buy back amount may include a mileage offset based on usage before the first repair attempt.

Replacement:

Instead of a refund, you may receive a comparable new Jeep. The manufacturer covers the difference in value, taxes, and related fees. This option may appeal to drivers who still want a Jeep — just one that works properly.

Cash-and-keep settlement:

A cash settlement compensates the registered owner for diminished value and inconveniences associated with the defect. This option allows the owner to retain ownership while receiving financial relief.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Jeep Lemon Law Services

Not necessarily. Used vehicles may qualify if they are still covered under the original manufacturer’s warranty or the issue first occurred while the vehicle was under manufacturers warranty.

If a reasonable number of repair attempts have already occurred, you may not be required to continue allowing additional repairs.

 In California, the statute of limitations is generally four years from when you knew or should have known the vehicle qualified as a lemon.

 If your claim is successful, the manufacturer typically pays reasonable attorney’s fees and legal costs.
