Your Taos may qualify if…
These are common indicators under California's Song-Beverly Act. An attorney reviews the full repair and warranty history before determining whether the firm can take a case.
You bought or leased the vehicle in California.
The problem arose while a manufacturer warranty covered the vehicle.
The dealer has had repeated repair opportunities, or the vehicle has spent significant time in the shop.
The defect continues and substantially affects the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

Why a warranty isn't enough
Your warranty vs. the lemon law
A warranty is a promise to attempt repairs. The lemon law is what protects you when those repairs never stick.
The manufacturer's warranty
- The manufacturer decides which repairs to attempt.
- It only obligates them to keep trying — not to actually fix the problem.
- When the warranty ends, the manufacturer's repair obligation ends.
California's lemon law
- Kicks in when repeated repairs don't fix a substantial defect.
- Can require a refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement.
- Your legal claim can survive after the warranty ends — if the defect was reported while it was in force.
- When you win, the manufacturer pays your attorney fees — not you.

Volkswagen Taos Lemon Law FAQ
My new Volkswagen Taos has phantom braking issues. Can I pursue a lemon law claim in California?
Phantom braking caused by faulty ADAS sensors is a significant safety defect that strongly supports a lemon law claim under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Because unexpected braking poses a risk of rear-end collisions, California courts typically consider this a safety-related defect requiring only two repair attempts before the vehicle may qualify as a lemon. Contact a lemon law attorney promptly to review your repair history.
Does California Lemon Law cover oil consumption problems in my Volkswagen Taos?
Yes, excessive oil consumption that can lead to engine damage is considered a defect that substantially impairs your Taos's safety and value under the Song-Beverly Act. Volkswagen must be given a reasonable number of opportunities to repair the issue, but if the problem persists, you may be entitled to a buyback or replacement. Keep records of every oil top-off and every dealership visit documenting the concern.
My Volkswagen Taos has been at the dealer for weeks waiting for a DSG part. Does that time count toward lemon law?
Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Act, all calendar days your Taos is out of service for warranty repair count toward the 30-day threshold, including days the vehicle is waiting for parts. Volkswagen cannot avoid lemon law liability by blaming parts delays or backorders. Make sure the repair order reflects the actual dates the vehicle was dropped off and returned to you.
Can I get a refund under California Lemon Law if my Taos has multiple different defects?
Yes. The Song-Beverly Act does not require that the same defect recur repeatedly. If your Taos has experienced multiple distinct warranty defects and the cumulative time out of service exceeds 30 days, you may have a valid lemon law claim. A combination of DSG transmission issues, sensor malfunctions, and oil consumption problems can collectively establish that the vehicle is substantially impaired.
