Genesis GV60 Lemon Law

Yes, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies to all new motor vehicles sold or leased in California, including fully electric vehicles like the GV60. The high-voltage battery, electric motors, and EV-specific components are all covered under the manufacturer warranty and subject to lemon law protections.

If the battery degradation occurs within the warranty period and falls below the manufacturer's guaranteed capacity threshold, it may constitute a substantial impairment of the vehicle's value and use under Song-Beverly. Genesis warranties the GV60 battery for 10 years or 100,000 miles. Document all range estimates and charging data to support your claim.

Yes. A software update performed at the dealership to address a reported defect counts as a warranty repair attempt under Song-Beverly. If the software update does not resolve the problem, that unsuccessful attempt is documented on your repair order and contributes to the total number of repair attempts required for a lemon law claim.

Yes. Under Song-Beverly, you are entitled to recover incidental and consequential damages, which include rental car costs, towing fees, and other expenses directly resulting from the defect. Keep all receipts for rental vehicles and alternative transportation costs incurred while your GV60 was out of service for warranty repairs.
