Chrysler Aspen Lemon Law

Yes. Engine stalling is a serious safety defect that qualifies under the Song-Beverly Act. If your Aspen has experienced this issue during the warranty period and the dealer has been unable to resolve it after reasonable repair attempts, you may be entitled to a refund or replacement vehicle.

The Song-Beverly Act primarily covers new vehicles sold with a manufacturer's warranty in California. However, used vehicles sold with a dealer warranty may also qualify under the Act's used vehicle provisions. Additionally, if your Aspen was certified pre-owned and still under the original manufacturer's warranty, it may be treated similarly to a new vehicle for Lemon Law purposes.

Most California Lemon Law cases are resolved within three to six months through negotiation or settlement. If the manufacturer refuses to settle and the case goes to trial, it can take a year or longer. Having thorough documentation of all repair visits and symptoms can significantly speed up the process.

You are not obligated to accept any settlement offer from the manufacturer. Under the Song-Beverly Act, you are entitled to a full refund or replacement, minus a reasonable mileage offset. Consulting with a California Lemon Law attorney before accepting any offer is advisable, as many initial offers significantly undervalue your claim.
