Your Traverse may qualify if…
These are common indicators under California's Song-Beverly Act. An attorney reviews the full repair and warranty history before determining whether the firm can take a case.
You bought or leased the vehicle in California.
The problem arose while a manufacturer warranty covered the vehicle.
The dealer has had repeated repair opportunities, or the vehicle has spent significant time in the shop.
The defect continues and substantially affects the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

Why a warranty isn't enough
Your warranty vs. the lemon law
If covered problems persist after repair attempts, an attorney can review whether California's lemon law provides a remedy.
The manufacturer's warranty
- Describes which defects and repairs the manufacturer covers.
- Sets coverage terms, including time and mileage limits.
- Your warranty documents and repair orders help establish what happened and when.
California's lemon law
- May provide a remedy when a covered substantial defect remains after a reasonable number of repair attempts.
- A qualifying case may lead to a buyback, a replacement, or a negotiated cash settlement.
- Warranty expiration alone does not settle whether you have a claim. An attorney can review your repair history and deadlines.
- When you win, the manufacturer pays your attorney fees — not you.

Chevrolet Traverse Lemon Law FAQ
My Traverse's 3.6L engine needs a timing chain replacement at 45,000 miles. The dealer says it is a covered repair, but should I pursue a lemon law claim?
A premature timing chain failure on the 3.6L V6 is a substantial defect that may qualify for lemon law relief under the Song-Beverly Act, especially if the vehicle has experienced related symptoms like rough running or check engine lights before the chain failed. If this is the first repair attempt, have the work completed under warranty and monitor for recurrence. If the issue returns or if the vehicle was out of service for an extended period, you will have a strong basis for a repurchase or replacement demand.
My 2022 Traverse has had the 9-speed transmission reprogrammed three times but still shifts harshly. What should I do next?
Three failed software reflashes for the same transmission complaint establish a clear pattern of an unresolved defect under the Song-Beverly Act. You should send a formal written notice to General Motors at their legal department, referencing your VIN, repair history, and requesting a vehicle repurchase or replacement. Under California law, the manufacturer has 30 days to respond to your demand. Consulting with a California lemon law attorney is advisable since they typically work on contingency and their fees are paid by the manufacturer if you prevail.
The power liftgate on my Traverse dropped on my child. Can I include personal injury in a California Lemon Law claim?
The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act is a contract-based statute focused on vehicle repurchase or replacement, not personal injury compensation. However, you can simultaneously pursue a separate product liability or negligence claim for any injuries caused by the defective liftgate. For the lemon law portion, the defective liftgate is a clear safety impairment that strengthens your case for a buyback. You should report the incident to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and consult an attorney who handles both lemon law and personal injury claims.
My Traverse's stop-start auxiliary battery has been replaced twice in one year. Does a battery replacement count as a repair attempt?
Yes, replacing a defective component under warranty absolutely counts as a repair attempt under the Song-Beverly Act. The stop-start auxiliary battery is an integral part of the vehicle's electrical system, and its repeated failure can cause stalling, which is a serious safety concern. Two replacements within a year demonstrate that the manufacturer has been unable to conform the vehicle to its warranty. This pattern, combined with the safety implications of potential stalling in traffic, gives you a solid foundation for a lemon law claim.
