Fiat Punto Lemon Law FAQ
Does the California Lemon Law apply to my Fiat Punto?
Yes. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act covers your Fiat Punto if it was sold or leased with a manufacturer warranty in California. All Punto engine options and trim levels are eligible for protection.
Can power steering failures in my Punto qualify as a safety defect under Song-Beverly?
Yes. Loss of power steering assist is a serious safety defect. Under Song-Beverly, only two repair attempts for a safety-related defect are needed to create a lemon presumption, making these claims particularly strong.
I have had five different problems with my Punto. Do they all count for lemon law?
Yes. Under Song-Beverly, multiple different defects can be combined to show your Punto is substantially impaired. The cumulative days out of service for all warranty repairs count toward the 30-day threshold.
What if Fiat argues my Punto problems are caused by normal wear and tear?
Under Song-Beverly, the manufacturer bears the burden of proving that a defect is caused by owner abuse or normal wear. Premature component failures during the warranty period are presumed to be manufacturing defects, not wear items.
