2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 S E Performance Lemon Law Questions in Connecticut
How does Connecticut lemon law apply to a Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 S E Performance?
The Connecticut Lemon Law (Conn. Gen. Stat. §42-179) uses a standard of 4 repair attempts for the same defect (or 2 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service. Remedies: Replacement vehicle, full refund, or monetary damages. Written warranties are also covered nationwide by the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
What was the settlement amount for this 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 S E Performance?
A vehicle buyback totaling $94,779. Part went to our client and the rest covered attorney fees. Results may vary. Prior outcomes do not guarantee a similar result.
How is a buyback different from cash and keep?
With a buyback, the manufacturer takes the vehicle back, pays off the loan or lease and refunds the owner, minus any use allowance the state allows. With cash and keep, the owner keeps the vehicle and gets a cash payment.
What does it cost to bring a Mercedes-Benz lemon law claim with Easy Lemon?
There is no upfront fee. Lemon law fee-shifting statutes generally make the manufacturer pay the attorney fees. In this case our client contributed $2,000 of the attorney fees from the refund.
Mercedes-Benz Owner?
Driving a Mercedes-Benz With Repeat Repairs?
A Mercedes-Benz that needs the same repair again and again may qualify under your state's lemon law. The manufacturer pays our fees, not you, and we take on Mercedes-Benz cases like this one regularly.
