Mitsubishi Outlander Lemon Law Attorney

Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your Outlander's CVT transmission defect cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts during the warranty period, you are entitled to a replacement vehicle or a full refund. A reasonable number of attempts is generally considered two or more repairs for the same defect or 30 or more cumulative days out of service.

Yes, California's Song-Beverly Act extends protections to used vehicles sold with a dealer warranty. If your certified pre-owned Outlander came with a written warranty and has a substantial defect that the dealer cannot fix, you may qualify for relief. The key requirement is that the vehicle was sold with an express warranty from the dealer.

Under Song-Beverly, you are entitled to either a replacement vehicle of comparable value or a full refund of the purchase price, including down payment, monthly payments, registration fees, and incidental damages. The manufacturer may deduct a reasonable usage allowance based on mileage at the time of the first repair attempt. You are also entitled to have your attorney fees paid by the manufacturer.

You should file your claim while the vehicle is still under the manufacturer's original warranty or any extended warranty. California's statute of limitations for Song-Beverly claims is four years from the date you knew or should have known the vehicle was a lemon. However, it is strongly recommended to act promptly while repair records are fresh and the warranty is active.
