Ferrari 296 GTB Lemon Law

High-voltage battery cooling failures can pose significant safety risks and typically constitute a substantial defect under the Song-Beverly Act. If the dealer has been unable to resolve this issue, you likely have a strong lemon law claim. Document all warning messages and repair attempts carefully.

While the Song-Beverly Act does not specifically require manufacturers to provide loaner vehicles, many Ferrari dealers offer them as a courtesy. However, if your vehicle is out of service for extended periods, the cumulative downtime strengthens your lemon law claim regardless of whether a loaner was provided.

Yes, manufacturers can require that warranty repairs be performed at authorized dealerships. Under the Song-Beverly Act, the manufacturer is entitled to a reasonable number of repair attempts through their authorized service network before the vehicle can be deemed a lemon. Always use authorized Ferrari service centers to preserve your claim.

You are not obligated to accept a cash settlement if you believe your 296 GTB qualifies as a lemon. Under the Song-Beverly Act, you have the right to a full refund or replacement. It is strongly recommended to have a lemon law attorney review any settlement offer before accepting, as manufacturers may offer less than you are legally entitled to receive.
