Maserati Levante Trofeo Lemon Law

Yes. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies to all new vehicles purchased or leased in California, including the high-performance Levante Trofeo. If a substantial warranty defect remains unrepaired after a reasonable number of dealer attempts, you have the right to a refund or replacement.

An oil leak onto the exhaust manifold is a fire hazard and a serious safety defect. Under California Lemon Law, safety-related defects can require as few as two repair attempts before the vehicle qualifies as a lemon. Report this issue to the dealer immediately and document everything.

California Lemon Law provides for either a full refund or replacement vehicle, plus incidental and consequential damages. While diminished value is not a separate category under Song-Beverly, the full refund amount is designed to make you whole and return you to your pre-purchase financial position.

The manufacturer bears the burden of proving that misuse or abuse caused the defect. Normal driving, even spirited driving of a performance vehicle within its design parameters, does not constitute abuse. If the defect appeared under normal use during the warranty period, your Lemon Law claim remains valid.
