Infiniti QX80 Lemon Law

Yes. The Hydraulic Body Motion Control system is a core component of the QX80, and persistent leaks that cannot be repaired under warranty substantially impair the vehicles use, value, and safety. Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, repeated failed repairs of this system would support a strong lemon law claim.

Premature brake wear that occurs far sooner than expected may constitute a design defect rather than normal wear. Under the Song-Beverly Act, if the braking deficiency is caused by a manufacturing or design defect present at the time of sale and covered under warranty, it is not excluded as a wear item. Document the mileage at each brake service to establish that wear is occurring abnormally fast.

California Lemon Law generally applies to vehicles primarily used in California, regardless of where they were purchased. If you registered and drive your QX80 in California, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act protects you. The key factor is where the vehicle is used and repaired, not where the purchase contract was signed.

Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Act, the manufacturer is entitled to a reasonable mileage offset calculated based on the miles driven before the first repair attempt for the defect. The formula divides the actual miles at first repair by 120,000 and multiplies by the purchase price. Miles driven after reporting the defect are not counted against you, so report problems early to minimize any offset.
