Maserati Quattroporte Lemon Law

Yes. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies to all new vehicles purchased or leased in California, regardless of price or brand. If your Quattroporte has a substantial defect that cannot be repaired within a reasonable number of warranty attempts, you are entitled to relief.

A defective transmission that causes harsh shifting or fails to engage properly is a serious safety concern and a substantial defect. Under California Lemon Law, if the dealer cannot fix the transmission after a reasonable number of attempts, you can demand a refund or replacement.

Yes. A Lemon Law refund includes the full purchase price, down payment, monthly payments made, taxes, registration fees, and incidental costs. The manufacturer may only deduct a mileage offset based on miles driven before the defect was first reported.

The dealer's inability to replicate a defect does not invalidate your Lemon Law claim. Document the symptoms with photos, videos, and written descriptions each time the problem occurs. Courts recognize that intermittent defects are still substantial defects under the Song-Beverly Act.
