Volvo XC90 Lemon Law

Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, your Volvo XC90 is covered if it was purchased or leased with a manufacturer warranty in California. If Volvo or an authorized dealer cannot repair a substantial defect after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle or a full refund.

California law generally presumes a vehicle is a lemon if the same substantial defect has been subject to two or more repair attempts for a safety-related issue, or four or more attempts for other warranty defects. Additionally, if your XC90 has been out of service for a cumulative total of 30 or more days due to warranty repairs, it may also qualify.

Absolutely. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act protects both purchasers and lessees of new vehicles in California. If your leased XC90 has a recurring defect that the dealer cannot fix within a reasonable number of attempts, you have the same rights to a refund or replacement as someone who purchased the vehicle outright.

Under Song-Beverly, you may be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price including taxes, registration fees, and monthly payments, minus a mileage offset for usage before the first repair attempt. Alternatively, you may receive a comparable replacement vehicle. Volvo is also required to pay your attorney fees if your claim is successful.
