Case Overview

2025 Audi SQ5 Repair Record: 3 Visits, 89 Days Off the Road

2025 Audi SQ5 lemon law buyback in Virginia: Easy Lemon recovered $76,903 for this client after 3 repair visits and 89 days out of service. The claim was brought under Virginia Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act (Virginia Lemon Law) (Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16). When the same defect keeps coming back and the manufacturer cannot fix it, the owner may be entitled to a buyback, a replacement or a cash settlement, at no cost†.

This Audi SQ5 went back to the dealer 3 times, with problems logged under engine and electrical. Our client bought it new in Virginia, and the dealer held onto it for a total of 89 days. At the time of the first repair, the odometer showed 100 miles.

Easy Lemon pressed the claim with Audi, which agreed to a vehicle buyback worth $76,903. The amount is the sum of three payments: to our client, to the lender, and the attorney fees covered by the manufacturer.

Common Questions

2025 Audi SQ5 Lemon Law Questions in Virginia

What are the Virginia lemon law standards for a Audi SQ5?
In Virginia, the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service (the Virginia Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act (Virginia Lemon Law), Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16). Remedies: Replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act also applies to written warranties in every state.
How much did this Virginia Audi SQ5 case recover?
$76,903, paid as a vehicle buyback. That figure includes our client's payment, the lender payoff and the attorney fees Audi paid. Results may vary. Prior outcomes do not guarantee a similar result.
Buyback or cash and keep: what is the difference?
A cash-and-keep settlement leaves the vehicle with the owner and pays cash. A buyback returns the vehicle to the manufacturer, which pays off the loan or lease and refunds the owner, less any use allowance permitted by state law.
Is there a fee to hire Easy Lemon for a Audi SQ5 claim?
Nothing upfront. Fee-shifting statutes in lemon law cases generally put attorney fees on the manufacturer, and this client paid nothing out of pocket†.
