Lincoln Nautilus Lemon Law Attorney

Yes. Loss of power steering is classified as a safety defect under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. For safety-related defects, the legal presumption of a lemon can apply after just two repair attempts, rather than the standard four. You should immediately document the issue in writing and request a loaner vehicle while repairs are attempted.

Yes. The Song-Beverly Act applies to used vehicles that are sold with a remaining manufacturer warranty or a dealer-provided warranty. If your Nautilus still has factory warranty coverage when the defect arises, you have the same Lemon Law protections as the original buyer. The key requirement is that an express written warranty must be in effect.

Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Act, you may be entitled to reimbursement of incidental and consequential damages, which can include rental car expenses, towing charges, and other out-of-pocket costs caused by the defect. Keep all receipts and rental agreements as documentation to support your claim for these additional damages.

Each visit where the dealer attempts a repair counts toward your Lemon Law threshold, even if the repair was only a software update or reflash. Under Song-Beverly, the manufacturer is obligated to actually fix the problem, not just attempt a temporary workaround. If the shudder returns after the update, bring it back immediately and ensure a new repair order is opened each time.
