Alfa Romeo Lemon Law Lawyers

An Alfa Romeo vehicle qualifies as a lemon if a substantial defect affects its use, value, or safety, and remains unfixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts. Also, the defect must occur when the vehicle is still under the original manufacturer’s warranty.

The California Lemon Law protects California consumers from the pitfalls of purchasing lemon vehicles. The law describes a reasonable number of repair attempts as any of the following during the first 18 months or 18,000 miles:

• 2+ unsuccessful repair attempts for a safety-related issue

• 4+ failed attempts for a non-safety issue

• Out of service for an extended period of 30 days or more due to repair attempts on one or more recurring common defects.

Common Alfa Romeo defects include:

• Infotainment/electrical system failures (unresponsive touchscreen, erratic warning lights)

• Transmission problems, hesitation, or slippage

• Engine misfires, overheating, coolant, or oil leaks

• Brake or suspension noises and premature wear

• Water leaks around the sunroof/seals

Most Lemon Law cases are handled outside of court through negotiation or settlement with the manufacturer, especially if you have strong documentation and legal support. However, there are legal options your attorney can explore if negotiations fail.

In most cases, you will not pay any upfront attorney fees when filing a Lemon Law claim, especially if you work with dedicated Lemon Law firms, such as Easy Lemon. If your claim is successful, the manufacturer is typically required to pay your attorney’s fees and costs.
