How Long Do I Have to File a Claim Against Jeep?

When lemon law claims are filed sooner, there’s a better chance to secure maximum compensation. The statute of limitations typically starts at the end of the written new car warranty. Make your lemon law claim a top priority and act fast. If you end up waiting too long, you may miss out on your deserved cash settlement from Jeep.

Do California Lemon Laws Apply to Used and Leased Cars?
Yes, but there are some differences between the two. The main factor is compensation. Individuals who have ended up leasing a lemon are compensated for the amount they have already paid and a buy-out of the remainder of the lease agreement.
Used Jeeps can still qualify for compensation under these criteria:
– The Jeep is still covered by its original warranty.
– The Jeep was sold with a written factory warranty.
