Audi A5 Lemon Law

No, all Audi A5 body styles including the Sportback, Coupe, and Cabriolet are equally protected under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. The law applies to the vehicle as a whole regardless of body configuration, and the same defect thresholds and remedies apply to every variant.

Yes, you can and should continue driving your A5 while your lemon law claim is pending. Continuing to report any recurring issues to the dealer strengthens your case. The mileage offset is only calculated based on miles before the first repair attempt, so additional driving does not reduce your potential refund.

Most lemon law cases are resolved within 3 to 6 months if the manufacturer agrees to a settlement. If the case proceeds to litigation, it can take 12 to 18 months or longer. The Song-Beverly Act incentivizes manufacturers to settle by requiring them to pay the consumer's attorney fees if they lose.

If the defect was first reported and repaired during the warranty period but reoccurred after warranty expiration, you may still have a valid Song-Beverly claim. The law looks at whether the manufacturer had a fair opportunity to repair the defect during the warranty period, and a recurring issue demonstrates the repair was never truly completed.
