Is Your Ford a Lemon?

California’s Lemon Laws apply to all car brands and models, so if you think your Ford may be a lemon, it is advised that you document your vehicle’s repairs, note your conversations with your dealer or manufacturer, and seek legal counsel.

Like many other auto manufacturers, Ford sometimes produces vehicles with transmission issues. Owners have reported incidents of rough shifting, slipping gears, and complete transmission failure.
Engine issues.
Overheating engines, misfiring cylinders, and faulty wiring are just a few examples of problems that, when found to be irreparable, can qualify your vehicle as a lemon.
Coolant leaks.
Coolant leaks result in a significant number of complaints from Ford owners, and this problem usually stems from a faulty radiator.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim Against Ford?
In California, you have four years to file a Lemon Law claim. But if you think your Ford is a lemon and have properly documented its failed repairs, along with your conversations with your dealer/manufacturer, there’s no reason to wait.
The statute of limitations typically starts at the end of the written new car warranty. The sooner you file, the more likely you are to receive proper compensation.
Do California Lemon Laws Apply to Used and Leased Cars?
Yes, used and leased cars are subject to California’s Lemon Laws, but compensation for a used/leased lemon is different than it is for a new lemon. If your Ford is on a lease, you can expect to be compensated for the amount you’ve already paid, and the dealer or manufacturer will buy out the remainder of the lease agreement. As long as your vehicle is still under warranty, you may be eligible for compensation.
