Buick TourX Lemon Law

Yes. The Song-Beverly Act allows lemon law claims as long as the defect occurred during the warranty period, regardless of whether the model is still in production. You can still pursue a refund of the purchase price or, if a replacement is requested, a comparable vehicle from the current Buick lineup. The statute of limitations is four years from discovery of the defect.

If the intercooler condensation causes noticeable stumbling and misfires that affect driveability, it is not merely a normal characteristic but a defect that substantially impairs the vehicle's use. Under the Song-Beverly Act, the manufacturer cannot disclaim warranty coverage by labeling a defect as a design characteristic. Document each occurrence and dealer visit.

Yes. The all-wheel-drive system is a core component covered under the powertrain warranty, and its failure substantially impairs the use and safety of the vehicle. Under the Song-Beverly Act, if the AWD system defect cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you are entitled to a refund or replacement vehicle.

The Song-Beverly Act primarily covers vehicles sold with a new car warranty or dealer-provided express warranty. If you purchased the TourX as a used vehicle from a private party and the original manufacturer warranty is still in effect, you may still have coverage. However, private-party sales without any remaining warranty are generally not covered under the Act.
