Dodge Dart Lemon Law

Yes. The dual dry clutch transmission's shuddering and hesitation constitute a substantial defect that impairs your Dart's drivability and safety, particularly when merging into traffic. Under the Song-Beverly Act, if Dodge has been unable to resolve this defect after multiple warranty repair attempts, your vehicle may qualify as a lemon.

Yes. Excessive oil consumption that requires frequent topping off and risks engine damage is a substantial defect under the Song-Beverly Act. If the dealer has performed oil consumption tests and attempted repairs without resolving the issue during the warranty period, you have a strong case for a Lemon Law claim.

Absolutely. Model discontinuation does not affect your Lemon Law rights under the Song-Beverly Act. If your Dart had qualifying defects during its warranty period, you can still pursue a claim within the four-year statute of limitations. If a replacement is awarded, the manufacturer must provide a comparable vehicle from its current lineup.

Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Act, you can base your Lemon Law claim on multiple defects collectively impairing your vehicle's use, value, or safety. The cumulative effect of several unrepairable problems, such as transmission shudder, oil consumption, and electrical failures, can satisfy the Lemon Law requirements even if no single defect alone reaches the threshold.
