Do
you own a new (or used
under Kia Certified Pre-Owned
under factory warranty) Kia that has
had repeated symptoms/problems,
and at least one of the
symptoms/problems has been
subject to 3 or more repair
attempts at the Kia dealership
during the original 5 year/60,000 mile factory new vehicle
limited warranty (or Kia
Certified Pre-Owned warranty)?
The same goes if you own any
model Kia including Spectra,
Rio, Sedona, Borrego, Sorento,
Soul, Sportage, Amanti, Optima,
Rondo, or Rio5 that has had
repeated symptoms/problems, and
at least one of the symptoms/
problems has been subject to 3
or more repair attempts at the
dealership during the original 5
year/60,000 mile factory new
vehicle limited warranty (or
“Certified Pre-Owned”
warranty)?
A
number of Kia vehicles have had
various known mechanical and/or
safety impairment issues. If you
have had multiple warranty repair
attempts for the same issue, or an
excessive number of days in the
shop, you may have a Kia vehicle
that qualifies for coverage under
California’s Lemon Law. You
could receive your money back or a
new replacement Kia! (Replacement
only applicable on vehicle’s
acquired new). Also, Kia’s also
have a 10 year/100,000 mile
factory “powertrain warranty”
TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER that covers
the engine, transmission, and
final drive axle (manual
transmission stick-shift clutch
system is excluded). This
“powertrain” warranty is
applicable to California lemon law
if you are the original purchaser.
Do
you have surging, stalling, or
other driveability complaints?
Do you have the cooling system
overheating and/or coolant leaks?
Do you have loss of power or
warning lights while driving?
Do you have other issues or
repeated dashboard warning
displays?
Do
you have “CHECK ENGINE” light
problems?
Do you have “SERVICE ENGINE
SOON” light problems?
Does your Kia engine consume too
much oil?
Do you have engine mis-fire/knocking
problems?
Do you have power steering
problems?
Do you have SRS/Airbag/Passenger
Seat Occupancy problems?
Do you have transmission problems?
Do you have Traction
Control/Stability control system
problems?
Do you have “ABS brake warning
light” problems?
Do you have other problems not
listed above?
If
you feel that you meet the “3 or
more repair attempts” criteria
noted above, please call us at the
toll-free number below to receive
a FREE Lemon Law case review and
evaluation of your vehicle.
PLEASE
NOTE: For
engine/drive-ability/etc. cases,
we do not accept cases for review
in which the owner has modified
the vehicle via installation of
aftermarket performance
“chips”, “mapping”,
“intake systems” and
“starting at the exhaust
manifold” exhaust systems, etc.
We also do not pursue cases
wherein one or more repair invoice
on your Kia states “outside
influence – not a warranty
issue” or “evidence of
tampering”. If the vehicle
is used for "business
purposes," a lemon law
claim/case cannot be brought on
that vehicle if there are more
than 5 vehicles registered to the
owner/business.
Cases that are accepted will be at
a very low “contingency fee”
to the consumer (attorney’s fees
billable to auto manufacturer
under statute if attorney settles
case).
We
would like to stress that Kia’s
are one of the highest quality and
most technologically advanced
vehicles on the market, and that
the issues noted above will likely
not happen to most owners of these
vehicles. That being said, despite
a manufacturer’s best efforts,
some Kia’s will turn out to be
“lemons” by their qualifying
warranty repair histories. For
these vehicles California’s
largest lemon law firm can be a
great asset to consumers in
getting their legal entitlement
under the California Lemon Law.
The
California Lemon Law protects
consumers that purchase or lease
new or under-warranty used
Volkswagen vehicles in the state
of California, register them here
via paying California tax and
license (registration), and have
their warranty repairs performed
at factory authorized California
Kia dealership locations.
Consumers must keep their warranty
work receipts, or gain a
“warranty repair history”
printout from the dealership to
prove the repairs/repair visits
that have taken place.
Our
lemon law statute in California
provides the manufacturer of your
vehicle with a “reasonable”
number of repair attempts to
rectify the problem/symptom. The
number of repair visits necessary
to be “reasonable” is relative
to how many months the car has
been in warranty service, the
description and substantiality of
the symptom/problem, and the
number of miles currently on the
car. It should be noted that
contrary to what you may read in
your vehicles warranty book,
California has no requirement for
“arbitration”, allowing the
consumer to directly seek and
retain legal counsel to represent
them in a “lemon law” case.
Manufacturer’s
“Customer Assistance Centers”
give out “case numbers”, which
are NOT a lemon law case, but
rather simply a reference number
for the next time you call in with
a complaint.
Watch
out for the age-old trick of the
“dealer trade assist” or
similar wording used by some car
dealers if a customer complaints
about his/her Kia that has
symptoms/problems. Customers are
often told “we will get you out
of your car and into a new one”.
Don’t fall for this time-worn
consumer ploy. This is simply the
dealer trying to take your Kia
back in trade and sell you a new
one, taking all the negative
equity from your current Kia and
hiding it in the loan or lease on
the new replacement vehicle.
Our
California lemon law is the avenue
car buyers utilize to get their
money back, a new replacement Kia vehicle, or a
substantial cash settlement.
Under
our California statute, consumers
who buy or lease a new vehicle (or
a used Kia that is still under the
manufacturer’s new vehicle
warranty or “Certified
Pre-Owned” warranty program) all
get to exercise their California
Lemon Law rights if they have a
qualifying repair history.
We invite you to call us today. We are consumer
advocates. We are on your side. We
have settled over 18,000
California lemon law cases. We
have 35 years of experience as we
do ONLY “lemon law cases” –
no other area of legal practice.
