The Law Offices of Delsack & Associates P.C. helped the owner of a 2013 Chrysler 200 get a buyback under the California Lemon Law. She purchased the vehicle in February 2013 and had been trying to get it repaired until March 2015.  During this time she provided FCA eight (8) repair opportunities to fix defects and manufacturing non-conformities.  The vehicle would go into limp mode under normal operating conditions; the transmission was difficult to shift, would surge and hesitate; the vehicle would not accelerate over 40 mph; and the A/C was defective and would not work.

Within a short time of retaining our services, our firm was able to negotiate a repurchase of the defective vehicle. Our client was reimbursed for her down payment, monthly payments, and registration, less the mileage deduction fee as allowed under the California lemon law. The manufacturer paid off her vehicle and her attorney’s fees. Our client was delighted with the outcome of her case.

The owner of a 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD contacted the Law Offices of Delsack & Associates after unsuccessfully trying to have her truck repaired for the fifth time. She told us her first repair attempt was at 598 miles for steering that pulled to the right, followed by repeated suspension problems that would make the vehicle difficult to control under certain driving conditions.

After analyzing our client’s potential lemon law case by reviewing the repair orders and purchase contract, we determined she had a valid claim to have the vehicle repurchased. Within a relatively short period after filing our demand, the manufacturer agreed to a buyback of the 2013 Sierra 3500 HD. GMC paid off the balance of the purchase and reimburse our client for her down payment and monthly payments; less the mileage fee allowed under the California Lemon Law. GMC also paid all her attorney fees. Our client could not have been happier to get rid of her vehicle and be reimbursed for the monies she had paid.
