Infiniti QX70 Lemon Law

Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Act, four repair attempts for the same defect creates a presumption that the vehicle is a lemon. With three failed attempts already, one more unsuccessful repair may trigger this presumption. However, you may have a valid claim even before the fourth attempt if the oil leak poses a fire hazard, as safety defects require only two repair attempts.

No. The Song-Beverly Act applies based on the warranty contract, not the model name. Whether your vehicle was originally marketed as the Infiniti FX35 or FX37 and later rebranded to QX70, your rights depend on the terms of the express warranty provided at the time of purchase. The rebadging has no legal impact on your lemon law protections.

Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Act, the choice between a refund and replacement belongs to the buyer, not the manufacturer. If you prefer a full refund of your QX70 purchase price rather than a replacement Infiniti, that is your legal right. The manufacturer cannot force you to accept a replacement vehicle if you would rather have your money back.

You should have the offer reviewed by a California lemon law attorney before accepting. Manufacturer settlement offers are often significantly less than what you are entitled to under the Song-Beverly Act. A proper buyback should include the full purchase price minus mileage offset, all incidental damages, and civil penalties if applicable. Signing a settlement may waive your right to pursue additional compensation.
