Genesis GV70 Electrified Lemon Law

Yes. A recurring 12-volt battery drain that prevents your vehicle from starting substantially impairs its use and potentially its safety. Under Song-Beverly, if Genesis has attempted to repair this issue two or more times without success, or if the cumulative time out of service exceeds 30 days, you likely have a valid lemon law claim.

Yes. Under Song-Beverly, all calendar days your vehicle is out of service for warranty repair count toward the 30-day threshold, including days spent waiting for parts. The manufacturer is responsible for maintaining adequate parts supply, and delays in obtaining parts do not excuse the time your vehicle is unavailable to you.

No. Under California law, you may take your vehicle to any authorized Genesis dealership for warranty repairs. The manufacturer cannot require you to travel to a specific location. However, for consistency in your lemon law case, it can be beneficial to use the same dealer so that repair history is consolidated on their records.

No, you should not stop making loan or lease payments while pursuing a Song-Beverly claim. Failure to make payments could result in repossession and damage your credit, which would complicate your lemon law case. If you prevail, Genesis will be required to reimburse all payments you have made, including interest charges.
