Infiniti QX50 Lemon Law Attorney

Yes. If the excessive oil consumption in your QX50 constitutes a defect that substantially impairs the vehicles use, value, or safety and Infiniti cannot repair it within a reasonable number of attempts under warranty, you may have a valid claim under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Excessive oil consumption that risks engine damage is considered a serious nonconformity.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, the manufacturer must repair defects that are covered under warranty regardless of whether the dealer considers them normal. If a defect substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of your vehicle, you have the right to demand proper repairs. Document every visit in writing and request copies of all repair orders, as these records are critical evidence in a lemon law claim.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, you should file your claim within four years of discovering the defect, as the statute of limitations is four years from the date you knew or should have known about the breach of warranty. However, it is best to pursue your claim while the vehicle is still under the original factory warranty to strengthen your case.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, you may be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price including taxes, registration fees, and monthly payments, minus a reasonable mileage offset. Alternatively, you can receive a comparable replacement vehicle. You may also recover incidental and consequential damages, plus a civil penalty of up to two times the actual damages if the manufacturer willfully violated the Act.
