Lincoln Corsair Lemon Law

Yes, you very likely qualify. Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, a vehicle is presumed to be a lemon if it has been out of service for repairs for 30 or more cumulative calendar days during the warranty period. Make sure you have copies of all repair orders documenting the dates the vehicle was left at and picked up from the dealership.

No. Under California law, participation in the manufacturer's arbitration program (such as Lincoln's Customer Relationship Center dispute process) is voluntary for the consumer. You are free to bypass arbitration entirely and file a Lemon Law claim directly through the courts. Many Lemon Law attorneys offer free consultations and work on a contingency basis.

Yes. Excessive oil consumption that leads to engine damage or requires frequent top-offs is considered a substantial defect that impairs the use and value of your vehicle under the Song-Beverly Act. Document each instance of oil consumption, keep receipts for oil purchases, and ensure each dealer visit is recorded on a repair order, even if the dealer calls it normal.

The manufacturer bears the burden of proving the defect was caused by something other than a warranty-covered condition. Under Song-Beverly, if the Co-Pilot360 system repeatedly malfunctions and the dealer cannot replicate or resolve the issue, the defect still counts toward your Lemon Law claim. Dashcam footage and contemporaneous notes documenting each incident can be valuable evidence.
