In Need of a Fiat Lemon Law Attorney?
Fiat, the Italian automotive icon, has long been synonymous with compact, stylish vehicles that capture the essence of European flair. Founded in 1899, Fiat has weathered world wars, economic upheavals, and industry shifts, emerging as a global player in the automotive market. Known for their nimble city cars and quirky designs, Fiat has carved out a unique niche in the American market since its return in 2011.
However, beneath the charming exterior and rich heritage lies a less glamorous reality. Some Fiat owners find themselves grappling with persistent mechanical issues that transform their dream car into a frustrating ordeal. These recurring problems, despite multiple repair attempts, can turn a symbol of Italian craftsmanship into a potential “lemon.” For California drivers facing this predicament, understanding their rights under the state’s lemon law becomes crucial. In such circumstances, Bohloul Law, APC offers professional guidance for those dealing with lemon law claims.

California Lemon Law
California’s lemon law protects consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles. This law applies to new and used cars. If your Fiat has a substantial defect the dealership cannot fix it, you may have a lemon law claim.
While Fiat vehicles are known for their distinctive style and compact design, some owners have encountered recurring problems that can significantly impact their driving experience. These issues range from minor inconveniences to major safety concerns. Let’s explore five of the most common defects reported by Fiat owners:
- Transmission failures: Many Fiat models, particularly in the 500 series, have experienced transmission problems. Owners report jerking or hesitation during gear shifts, sudden loss of power while driving, and in severe cases, complete transmission failure requiring replacement.
- Electrical system malfunctions: Electrical problems are another frequent complaint among Fiat owners. These can manifest in various ways, including faulty infotainment systems that freeze or fail to respond, non-functioning power windows or locks, and unexpected battery drainage.
- Engine troubles: Engine-related problems can significantly impact a vehicle’s reliability and performance. Fiat owners have reported issues such as oil leaks, which can lead to engine damage if left unaddressed. Engine misfires, characterized by rough idling or loss of power, are also common complaints.
- Suspension and steering defects: Some Fiat models have shown issues with their suspension and steering systems. Owners report excessive vibration while driving, particularly at higher speeds, which can indicate problems with wheel alignment or suspension components. Difficulty steering, especially at low speeds, has also been noted.
These defects can transform the excitement of owning a stylish Italian car into a stressful and potentially hazardous experience. If you are experiencing any of these issues with your Fiat, it is crucial to address them promptly and understand your rights under California’s lemon law.

What is Fiat Lemon Law?
Fiat Lemon Law protects consumers who have purchased, financed or leased defective Fiat vehicles. If your Fiat has had multiple repairs or has been out of service for an extended period of time, you may be eligible for compensation or a vehicle replacement under California’s Lemon Law.
What types of defects qualify a Fiat as a lemon?
A Fiat may be considered a lemon if it has substantial defects affecting the vehicle’s safety, functionality, or value. Defects include, but are not limited to issues with the engine, transmission, brakes, electrical systems, or airbags, that remain unresolved despite multiple repair attempts.
How do I know if my Fiat qualifies under the Lemon Law?
To qualify, your Fiat must have been taken to the dealership for repairs multiple times for the same problem, or it has been out of service for a cumulative total of more than 30 days. The defect must still be under the manufacturer’s warranty, and it must significantly impair the car’s use, value, or safety. Defects that continue to exist even after the warranty period has expired still fall under the lemon law coverage. In other words, if your vehicle is out of warranty but defects you are dealing with started before the warranty expired, you can still have a chance to qualify for lemon law protections. Don’t wait! Call Bohloul Law and ask for a Free consultation.
What compensation can I receive under the Fiat Lemon Law?
If your Fiat is determined to be a lemon, you may be entitled to a refund, replacement vehicle, or cash compensation. A mileage deduction applies. However, the manufacturer will be responsible for covering your attorney’s fees and legal costs, meaning you won’t have to pay out of pocket to this office. The manufacturer will also pay off the lease/finance balance so that you owe no money to the finance company.
Does the Lemon Law apply to leased Fiat vehicles?
Yes, California’s Lemon Law applies to leased Fiat vehicles as well as purchased or financed ones. If your leased Fiat has significant defects that affect its use, performance or safety, you may be entitled to a refund of lease payments, cash compensation or a replacement vehicle.
What should I expect during the Fiat Lemon Law claim process?
The Lemon Law claim process typically begins with an evaluation of your case, where Mr. Bohloul will review repair records and vehicle history. If your Fiat qualifies as a lemon, the office will file a claim against the manufacturer. Most cases settle out of court, but the office is fully prepared to go to trial if necessary.
What if the defect in my Fiat doesn’t affect the vehicle’s safety?
Even if the defect in your Fiat doesn’t directly impact safety, you may still qualify for Lemon Law protection if it affects the vehicle’s value or functionality. For example, repeated problems with the air conditioning, navigation system, or other essential features may qualify.
How long do I have to file a Fiat Lemon Law claim?
You should consult with an attorney as soon as you suspect your vehicle may be a lemon to ensure all deadlines are met and evidence is preserved. Only your attorney can make the decision about the exact deadline to file your lawsuit.
TURNING A SOUR SITUATION INTO A SWEET DEAL
If you have car problems that keep coming back, you may be entitled to cash compensation. California Lemon Law has guaranteed your right.
