Stellantis Lemon Law
Protecting Owners of Defective Fiat Chrysler Vehicles
In 2021, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles merged with PSA Group to become Stellantis. Though the name of this multinational company changed, it continues to produce its staple American and Italian brand vehicles. These cars, trucks, and SUVs are still the same vehicles they were before the merger, which means they are still subject to the same defects that plagued their predecessors.
At O'Connor Law Group, P.C., our skilled and experienced team are dedicated to protecting your rights as a consumer. We focus on California Lemon Law and have a particular focus on cases involving Stellantis (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) vehicles.
Understanding the Lemon Law in California
Lemon law is designed to protect consumers who have purchased or leased new vehicles that turn out to be defective and cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts by authorized dealerships. In California, the upgraded Lemon Law offers more consumer protections with wider coverage.
Common Issues with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles
We understand that dealing with vehicle defects can be extremely frustrating, particularly when you’ve invested in a brand like Stellantis known for its reputation of quality and craftsmanship. Our firm has handled numerous cases involving Stellantis vehicles including but not limited to Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat and Alfa Romeo.
Your Rights Under California Lemon Law
If your Stellantis vehicle meets certain criteria under California's lemon laws, O'Connor Law Group can help you get a refund or replacement from the manufacturer at no cost to you! This includes compensation for costs associated with repairs, towing fees and rental cars.
What Are Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’s (FCA) Obligations under CA Lemon Law
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has specific obligations under California Lemon Law to protect consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles. If an FCA vehicle exhibits a substantial defect covered by the manufacturer’s warranty that impairs its use, safety, or value, the manufacturer is required to attempt repairs within a reasonable number of tries.
If FCA cannot successfully repair the defect after these attempts, California Lemon Law mandates that the company must either replace the vehicle or repurchase it from the consumer. Additionally, FCA is responsible for covering reasonable attorney’s fees and associated costs if the consumer successfully pursues a Lemon Law claim.
To protect your rights, it is crucial to document all repair attempts, communications with dealerships, and notices sent to the manufacturer. Consulting an experienced Lemon Law attorney can help ensure FCA fulfills its legal obligations and guide you through the process of seeking restitution, replacement, or other remedies under the law.

-
Should I pay for my car repairs under warranty?
Generally, you should not have to pay for repairs under warranty. Per the terms of your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, the manufacturer agrees to cover the costs of parts and labor during the warranty period. In some instances, the manufacturer may determine the warranty has been voided. Common reasons for a warranty to be voided include misuse or abuse of the vehicle and certain modifications to the vehicle.
We recommend consulting with the manufacturer prior to modifying your vehicle. If you feel the manufacturer has unfairly determined you violated the terms of the warranty, then you should contact our firm.
-
Should I save records of my car repairs?
Yes, when you take your car to the dealership for repairs, it’s important to ensure you have documentation of all the problems and the associated repair orders.
-
What Am I Entitled to if My Vehicle Qualifies Under the California Lemon Law?
If your vehicle qualifies under the California Lemon Law, you may be entitled to a refund of your down payment and monthly finance payments, as well as a discharge of your vehicle loan. You may also be entitled to reimbursement of incidental damages such as rental car expenses, repair costs, and towing expenses.
If offered by the manufacturer, you may choose to have your vehicle replaced with a similar vehicle instead of having your money refunded.
