Chevrolet Blazer Lemon Law

Yes, the Song-Beverly Act covers manufacturing defects regardless of where they manifest. A spontaneously shattering sunroof is a serious safety defect caused by a manufacturing flaw in the glass, not by any external event. The law requires the manufacturer to repair, replace, or repurchase the vehicle if the defect substantially impairs its safety, use, or value. Report this incident to NHTSA as well, since it poses a direct safety hazard to occupants and bystanders.

Repeated failure of ADAS safety features like Forward Collision Alert and Lane Keep Assist is a significant safety defect under the Song-Beverly Act. Each recalibration that fails to permanently resolve the issue counts as a repair attempt. Because these are safety-critical systems, California law applies a stronger presumption in your favor, potentially requiring only one failed repair attempt to establish a lemon. Document every instance when the systems become unavailable, especially while driving.

No. Under the Song-Beverly Act, a successful lemon law buyback requires the manufacturer to pay off your remaining loan balance as part of the repurchase. You would receive a refund of all payments you have made, including your down payment, monthly payments, taxes, and fees, minus the mileage offset. GM Financial's lien would be satisfied directly by the manufacturer. You would not owe anything further on the vehicle loan after a successful buyback.

Yes, under the Song-Beverly Act, all repair attempts directed at resolving the same underlying problem count together, even if the specific repair method differs each time. A software reflash, valve body replacement, and torque converter replacement are all attempts to fix the same transmission shudder or shifting defect. Three total repair attempts for transmission drivability issues well exceed the two-attempt presumption threshold. The law focuses on the nonconformity itself, not the specific repair procedure attempted.
