Maserati Lemon Law Attorney

California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies to all new motor vehicles purchased or leased in the state, regardless of price. In fact, the higher purchase price of a Maserati means the financial impact of defects is even greater, which can strengthen your claim. Whether you drive a Ghibli, Levante, Quattroporte, MC20, or Grecale, if your vehicle has persistent warranty defects the dealer cannot fix, you may be entitled to a full refund or replacement. Lion Lemon has significant experience representing owners of luxury vehicles like Maserati and understands the unique issues these cars present.

Transmission shudder is one of the most common complaints with Maserati vehicles equipped with the ZF 8-speed automatic, and it frequently qualifies as a substantial defect under California Lemon Law. If your dealer has attempted to repair the shudder through software updates, fluid changes, or component replacements without success, you may have a strong case. This defect impairs both the safety and the value of your vehicle, which are key factors under the Song-Beverly Act. Lion Lemon has handled numerous Maserati transmission claims and knows exactly how to build an effective case against the manufacturer.

It is common for Maserati dealers to dismiss real defects as normal vehicle characteristics, but this does not prevent you from pursuing a lemon law claim under California law. The Song-Beverly Act focuses on whether a defect substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of your vehicle, not on what the manufacturer considers normal. If your Maserati exhibits symptoms like excessive engine noise, transmission hesitation, or electrical malfunctions that a reasonable consumer would not expect from a luxury vehicle, those issues can form the basis of a valid claim. Document the problems thoroughly and contact Lion Lemon for an honest assessment.

Under California law, you generally have four years from the date you discovered or should have discovered the defect to file a lemon law claim under the Song-Beverly Act. However, your claim is strongest while the vehicle is still within the original Maserati new vehicle limited warranty, which is typically four years or 50,000 miles. We strongly recommend contacting Lion Lemon as soon as possible if you are experiencing recurring problems, as acting early preserves your evidence and strengthens your negotiating position with Maserati.

If your Maserati qualifies as a lemon under California law, you can receive either a full refund or a replacement vehicle of comparable value. A refund includes your down payment, all monthly loan or lease payments made, registration fees, taxes, and incidental costs such as towing and rental cars. Given the high purchase price of Maserati vehicles, these refunds are often substantial, frequently exceeding $80,000 to $150,000 or more. The manufacturer must also pay your attorney fees, so there is no cost to you for pursuing your claim with Lion Lemon.
