Infiniti Q60 Lemon Law

Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if Infiniti has failed to repair the boost pressure defect after a reasonable number of warranty repair attempts, you can demand a repurchase or replacement of your Q60. Loss of engine power is a safety concern that strengthens your claim, particularly if it occurs during highway merging or passing situations.

Harsh shifting that substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of your Q60 can qualify under the Song-Beverly Act. Courts have found that transmission defects affecting drivability constitute substantial impairment. You should have the issue documented at an authorized Infiniti dealer at least two to four times to establish a pattern of failed repair attempts.

An extended warranty or service contract can actually extend your Song-Beverly Act protections. The Act covers defects that arise during any express warranty period, including extended warranties sold by the manufacturer or dealer. If a covered defect in your Q60 cannot be repaired during the extended warranty period, you may still pursue a lemon law claim.

Yes. Under California Civil Code Section 1794, if the manufacturer willfully fails to comply with its obligations under the Song-Beverly Act, you may be awarded a civil penalty of up to two times your actual damages. If Infiniti knew about the defect, had notice of your repair history, and still refused to repurchase or replace your Q60, a court may find this willful and impose the penalty.
