Volvo S90 Lemon Law

Your S90 likely qualifies if it has a defect covered by the Volvo factory warranty that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety, and the dealer has been unable to repair it after a reasonable number of attempts. Under Song-Beverly, two attempts for a safety defect or four attempts for other defects generally create a presumption the vehicle is a lemon.

Song-Beverly primarily covers vehicles purchased or leased in California. However, if you are a California resident and the vehicle was delivered to you in California or is primarily used in the state, you may still have protections. Consulting with a California lemon law attorney about your specific purchase circumstances is recommended.

If your S90 is repurchased under Song-Beverly, Volvo is required to pay off the remaining loan balance as part of the refund. You would receive reimbursement for all payments made, including down payment and monthly installments, minus the mileage offset. The manufacturer deals directly with your lender to clear the lien.

Volvo is not legally required to provide a loaner under Song-Beverly, but most Volvo dealers offer loaner vehicles as a matter of brand policy. If no loaner is provided, you may be entitled to reimbursement for rental car expenses as incidental damages in your lemon law claim.
