What Qualifies Your Audi as a “Lemon”?

The term “lemon” in the automotive world isn’t just casual slang – it is a legal designation with specific criteria. In California, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. sets out clear guidelines for what constitutes a lemon vehicle. Having in-depth comprehension of these criteria is crucial for Audi owners facing persistent problems with their vehicles.

For your Audi to qualify as a lemon under California law, it must meet these criteria:

• Substantial defect: The issue must significantly impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. This could range from major engine problems to persistent electrical glitches that affect the car’s functionality, or any issue although it may seem small to you.
• Warranty coverage: The defect must have occurred while the vehicle was under the manufacturer’s warranty. This includes both new car warranties and certain used car warranties.

Reasonable repair attempts: The manufacturer or its authorized dealers must have been given a fair chance to fix the problem. In short:

• A minimum of two attempts for issues that could cause death or serious bodily injury
• A minimum of four attempts for other substantial defects
• The vehicle has been out of service due to repairs for a cumulative total of 30 days or more.
• Persistence of the problem: Despite these repair attempts, the defect must continue to exist.

It is important to note these criteria are not always cut-and-dry. For instance, the “reasonable number of attempts” can vary based on the severity of the defect and other circumstances. This is where having an experienced lemon law attorney becomes invaluable.

Some of the Common Audi Defects That May Lead to Lemon Law Claims

While Audi is known for its high-end vehicles, some models have experienced recurring issues. Here are some frequent problems that could result in a lemon law claim:

• Excessive oil consumption: Some Audi models, especially those with 2.0T engines have this problem. Owners may notice their vehicles burning through oil unusually rapidly, requiring frequent top-ups between scheduled oil changes.
• Transmission failures: Some Audi owners have experienced jerking, hesitation, or complete failure of their automatic transmissions. These issues can make the vehicle unsafe to drive and often require costly repairs or replacements.
• Electrical system malfunctions: Problems with the MMI (Multi-Media Interface also known as Infotainment System) system, instrument cluster, or other electrical components are not uncommon. These can range from minor annoyances, unresponsive touch screens, and sound and audio problems, to serious issues affecting the vehicle’s core functions.
• Engine misfires: Some Audi models have suffered frequent engine misfires, leading to poor performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and potential safety hazards. Misfires can cause the engine to run roughly and may trigger the check engine light and if not dealt with properly can cause serious engine problems requiring engine replacement.
• Timing chain failures: Some Audi engines have reported Premature timing chain wear. If not addressed promptly, this can lead to catastrophic engine failure, potentially resulting in expensive repairs or the need for a full engine replacement.

Don’t be discouraged if your vehicle does not the above criteria. Instead, you should seek the assistance of a lemon law attorney to review your documents and make a decision based on your documents and the totality of circumstances. A lot of cases do not meet the criteria above, however, this office can guide you.

Recent Audi Recalls and Their Impact

Audi has issued several important recalls in recent years, addressing various safety concerns across their vehicle lineup. These recalls highlight potential issues that could lead to lemon law claims if not properly addressed and underscore the importance of staying informed about your vehicle’s safety status.

In 2021, Audi recalled certain 2021 Q3 models due to a problem with the rear axle bolt, a defect that could lead to loss of vehicle control and increased risk of crashes. The previous year saw a recall for some 2019-2020 Q3 models because of a potential fuel leak, which posed a significant fire hazard.

Going back to 2019, Audi issued a recall for certain 2018-2019 Q5 and SQ5 models due to a wheel arch cover that could detach while driving, creating a risk for other road users and potentially causing accidents. In 2018, a recall was also announced for some 2013-2016 A8 and S8 models, addressing a coolant pump issue that could overheat and potentially ignite, posing a fire risk.

These recalls remind us of the complex systems within modern vehicles and the potential for defects to arise, even in luxury brands like Audi. They also demonstrate the manufacturer’s responsibility to address safety issues promptly. For Audi owners, staying aware of these recalls and ensuring their vehicles receive the necessary repairs is crucial not only for safety but also for maintaining the vehicle’s reliability and value.

If you find your Audi has been subject to multiple recalls or continues to have issues even after recall repairs, it may strengthen a potential lemon law claim. In such cases, it is essential to consult with an experienced California lemon law attorney to understand your rights and options.
