Volvo V60 Lemon Law

Yes. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act covers all new motor vehicles purchased or leased in California with a manufacturer warranty, including wagons and estate cars like the V60. If your V60 has a substantial warranty defect that Volvo cannot fix after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to relief.

Yes, you can continue driving your V60 during the claims process. However, you should continue bringing the vehicle to the authorized dealer for repair attempts whenever the defect reoccurs. Keeping a detailed log of symptoms and repair visits will support your case under Song-Beverly.

You are not obligated to accept a cash settlement if you believe it does not adequately compensate you. Under Song-Beverly, you are entitled to a full refund or replacement vehicle. Review any settlement offer carefully with your attorney to ensure it covers the purchase price, incidental costs, and any collateral charges you have incurred.

Generally, the defect must first manifest during the warranty period to be covered. However, if the defect was reported to the dealer while under warranty and was never properly repaired, your claim may still be valid even if the warranty has since expired. California courts have upheld claims where the manufacturer failed to cure a defect during the warranty term.
