Chrysler Lemon Law Lawyer in California
In recent years, Chrysler has been known to produce mostly family-oriented vehicles. If you and your family rely on a Chrysler to drive from A to B, the last thing you need is a slew of vehicular defects that might endanger your loved ones. If you’re stuck with stressful, problem-riddled commutes soon after purchasing your Chrysler, you may be entitled to compensation.
If your Chrysler dealer sold you a defective vehicle, also known as a lemon, don’t worry. Golden Lemon by Compass Law Group, LLP will fight for your rights and help you receive the compensation you deserve.
Is Your Chrysler a Lemon?
If your Chrysler vehicle has significant, unsolvable malfunctions soon after purchase, you may have been sold a lemon. Lemons can be dangerous to drive, but they are also hazardous to your pockets.
If your purchased vehicle has been brought in for repair four or more times within 18 months or 18,000 miles and remains defective, you may be driving a lemon. Additionally, if your vehicle has been in the repair shop for 30 cumulative days during that 18-month or 18,000-mile period, it can qualify as a lemon.
Consistent repairs and system failures aren’t fair to you or your bank account. Fortunately, California has legal protections in place that make sure you aren’t being taken advantage of.

Common Lemon Law Defects in Chryslers
There are numerous persisting defects that could qualify your Chrysler as a lemon, including faulty brakes, suspension issues, overconsumption and leaking of oil, and more. The following issues are common specifically in Chryslers and are important to document if they persist.
Faulty cooling systems.
Some Chrysler models have dealt with cooling system issues, including leaks and radiator failures. If the cooling system isn’t properly repaired, serious engine damage could occur.
Defective transmission.
Numerous problems have been identified with Chrysler transmissions in the past, including total failure and shifting difficulties. Models like the Pacifica and the Town & Country have been susceptible to transmission issues in the past.
General engine troubles.
Stalling, overheating, and broken sensors are just a few issues that can hit your engine, and some Chrysler vehicles have been known to suffer from these in recent years. Engine troubles can be especially dangerous defects, and if these defects aren’t fixed properly, they can lead to extensive financial and bodily harm.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim Against Chrysler?
In California, you have four years to file a lemon law claim. But if you think you bought a lemon, it’s better to act sooner than later.
The statute of limitations typically starts at the end of the written new car warranty. Waiting too long to file your claim could mean that you miss out on huge compensation from Chrysler.
Do California Lemon Laws Apply to Used and Leased Cars?
They do! Compensation is different for used and leased cars, though. If you’ve leased a lemon, you can expect to be compensated for what you already paid, and the remainder of the lease agreement will be bought out. Not all used and leased cars will qualify. To receive compensation, your Chrysler must still be covered by its original warranty, and it must have been sold with a written factory warranty.
