Chrysler Lemon Law Information
When you buy a new car, you expect it to be reliable and safe. Unfortunately, not all vehicles live up to those expectations. If you have a Chrysler vehicle that is plagued by repeated defects, you may be entitled to repurchase under the lemon law.
Here are some common issues that Chrysler owners (including Chrysler PT Cruiser, Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler 300, and Chrysler Town and Country) have reported:
Transmission problems. Chrysler vehicles, especially the ones with automatic transmissions, have had a history of issues like rough shifting, slipping, and failure.
Electrical problems. Some Chrysler models have been known to have issues with their electrical systems, including faulty wiring, failing alternators, and other problems that can cause various warning lights to come on.
Engine issues. Some Chrysler models, particularly those with V6 engines, have been known to have problems with oil consumption, oil leaks, and engine stalling.
Suspension problems. Many Chrysler vehicles have experienced issues with their suspension systems, including worn-out bushings, broken tie rods, and other problems that can cause uneven tire wear and poor handling.
Brake problems. Some Chrysler models have had issues with their braking systems, including premature wear of brake pads and rotors, brake pedal pulsation, and brake fluid leaks.
Is Your Chrysler a Lemon?
To qualify for a Chrysler repurchase under the lemon law, your vehicle must meet certain requirements. Specifically, your vehicle must:
Have a defect or condition that impairs its use, value, or safety
Have been subject to repair attempts under the manufacturer's warranty
Have a certain number of repair attempts for the same defect or condition
Have been out of service for a certain number of days due to repairs
If your Chevrolet meets these criteria, you may be entitled to repurchase under the lemon law. The manufacturer will be required to buyback your vehicle and reimburse you for your expenses, including the purchase price, taxes, and registration fees.
