An Ohio woman has stated that she will file a lawsuit with the Attorney General’s office regarding recurring problems with her leased Volkswagen Jetta. According to NBC4i.com, the woman experienced problems with the air conditioner several times and the clutch while the vehicle was on the freeway. The woman had been leasing the Jetta for 11 months before the vehicle began having problems. After taking it to the dealer the first time for the air conditioning problem, dealership mechanics were unable to find anything wrong with the car. When the clutch broke, the woman again took the vehicle in for repairs. The problem was fixed but she no longer felt that the vehicle was safe and wanted to return it to the seller.

Unfortunately for the consumer, however, her request for a lemon law repurchase of the vehicle was denied.

Stories like this one occur more often than one would think. In California, if a problem with a vehicle persists after a reasonable amount of repair attempts (usually four), then the owner may be eligible for a refund of their money or a replacement vehicle using the California lemon law.

If your vehicle has needed to be repaired multiple times for the same problem, and yet the problem still persists, you may have a lemon vehicle. Howard D.

West Virginia GM Vehicle Owner Sues Automaker for Breach of Warranty

Making the decision to file a lemon law claim is no easy task. While some car owners may think that filing a lemon law claim takes up too much of their time, this is not the case; especially with help from a lemon law attorney. And what’s worse – spending time researching your rights as a consumer, or missing out on the opportunity of getting a replacement vehicle or a full refund for your defective car? The answer is clear. Procrastination is not the solution when you are faced with owning a vehicle with irreparable flaws.

According to a West Virginia Record story, a Kanawha County man has filed suit against General Motors for breach of warranty based on West Virginia’s lemon law. The man is pursuing a refund of the purchase price ($18,590) for his 2009 Chevrolet HHR LS plus expenses relating to the car.

At the heart of the matter is the claim that the vehicle failed to conform to the warranty after a reasonable number of attempts.

A consumer should not have to pay a large sum of money for a new car only to fear for their safety when operating the vehicle. Lemon laws throughout the United States exist to hold manufacturers accountable when their vehicles do not conform to their warranty.

If you own a vehicle in California that cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to your money back or a new vehicle.
