Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge Lemon Law

Premature peeling of decorative trim is a manufacturing defect covered under warranty. Under the Song-Beverly Act, if this substantially impairs the value of your Ghost Black Badge, which it likely does given the premium paid for the Black Badge specification, it can support a lemon law claim after unsuccessful repair attempts.

The Black Badge enhancements are part of the vehicle's specifications and are covered under the manufacturer's warranty. Under the Song-Beverly Act, any defect that impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle qualifies, including issues specific to the Black Badge powertrain tune. Document how the performance differs from the expected specifications.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, if you elect a replacement vehicle, the manufacturer must provide a comparable new vehicle. This means Rolls-Royce would need to provide another Ghost Black Badge or an equivalent model. If an exact replacement is unavailable, the manufacturer and consumer must negotiate a suitable alternative.

Intermittent rear-wheel steering failure is a significant safety concern because it affects vehicle handling and maneuverability. Under the Song-Beverly Act, safety-related defects have a lower threshold for lemon law qualification. Two unsuccessful repair attempts for this issue may be sufficient to establish your Ghost Black Badge as a lemon.
