Chevrolet Silverado Lemon Law Case Study: Texas
Oil Leak and Persistent Transmission Problems on a Leased Chevrolet Silverado
Our client leased a new Chevrolet Silverado from Viva Chevrolet in Texas. The truck experienced two significant repair visits: the first for an engine oil leak that kept the vehicle in the shop for 26 days, and the second for a check engine light with rough shifting and jerking that remained unresolved at the time of this settlement.
Documented Repair Visits
November 14 – December 9, 2024 (26 days)
The truck was leaking oil. The technician replaced the engine oil filter housing. A loaner vehicle was provided during the repair.
June 24, 2025 – Present (16+ days, ongoing)
The check engine light came on and the truck was rough shifting and jerking. Estimated repair date was July 25, 2025. No final repair order had been provided. No loaner vehicle was provided during this visit.
Why This Chevrolet Silverado Qualified as a Lemon
Texas's Lemon Law (Texas Occupations Code Chapter 2301) sets specific thresholds that entitle a consumer to a buyback or replacement. This case satisfied multiple criteria:
- Electrical: Required multiple repair attempts without permanent resolution.
- Transmission: Required multiple repair attempts without permanent resolution.
- Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act eligible: Federal warranty protection provided additional remedies.
