Lincoln Lemon Law Lawyer in California
Being the luxury division of the Ford Motor Company, there are high expectations for the Lincoln brand, and rightfully so. If you pay for a luxurious driving experience, you deserve nothing less than what was promised. So, what should you do if your recently purchased Lincoln constantly suffers from malfunctions that affect both driver safety and vehicle value?
California’s Lemon Laws are meant to protect consumers in the event of a defective vehicle purchase, so if you believe that you bought a lemon, don’t worry, you have rights. The expert attorneys at Golden Lemon by Compass Law Group, LLP, can help you file a claim that may award you compensation free of charge.
Is Your Lincoln a Lemon?
Certain criteria can qualify your Lincoln as a lemon, and if your vehicle meets these criteria, you can likely make a successful Lemon Law claim. If your Lincoln is still under a new car warranty and has had two to four failed repairs for a severe issue, or if it has spent at least 30 cumulative days in a repair shop, then it may be a lemon.
To ensure that you receive the best possible compensation for your lemon, you must document your vehicle’s failed repairs and your conversations with the dealer/manufacturer. The general rule is that filing a claim within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles of your vehicle’s warranty will give you the highest chance of receiving proper compensation.

Common Lemon Law Defects in Lincoln Vehicles
Transmission failure.
Faulty transmissions can occur in any kind of vehicle, and Lincolns are no different. A blown transmission can be a severe issue, both from a safety and financial standpoint.
Fluid leakage.
If your Lincoln experiences constant fluid leakage, that can be a major detriment to the value of your vehicle. Leaking oil and coolant can also pose significant safety hazards if they go without repair.
Overheating engine.
An overheating engine can significantly raise the driver’s risk of severe injury while on the road, and if it cannot be fixed, then the vehicle may qualify as a lemon.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim Against Lincoln?
In California, you have four years to file a Lemon Law claim. But the sooner you file, the better. The best chances for receiving compensation occur within the first 18 months/18,000 miles of your car’s warranty.
The statute of limitations typically starts at the end of the written new car warranty. If your vehicle exhibits signs of being a lemon before then, be sure to seek legal advice and file a claim.
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 or leased lemon is different than it is for a new lemon. If your vehicle 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.
