The Law Offices of Delsack & Associates P.C. were contacted by the owner of a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette who believed his vehicle was a lemon. He had complained to GM many times about the problems he was having and had given his dealership five (5) opportunities to fix the defects.

He told us the engine had been replaced, the air bag warning light was always on, the engine would repeatedly overheat, there was a clunking noise in the front end during slow turns, and the car would stall at low RPMs. Repairs on the transmission included replacement of the dual mass flywheel and the clutch pressure plate. Additionally, the Corvette had been fixed under two separate technical service bulletins. TSB PI-1276: Repairs to the transmission to correct difficult shifting and a “mushy” shifting feeling. TSB PIE0302: Repairs to the transmission to correct difficult shifting from 1st or 2nd gear, clunk/grind/rattle noises, clutch pedal noise, and general poor operation.

A review of the Corvettes repair orders and purchase contract showed the vehicle was a good candidate for repurchase under the California Lemon Law. Within a relatively short period after filing our buyback demand, GM repurchased the defective vehicle, paid off the balance of the purchase, reimburse our client for his down payment and monthly payments, and paid our attorney fees. The manufacturer was allowed to deduct a mileage fee based on the Corvette’s first repair attempt.

Our client could not have been happier to be rid of the car and get reimbursed for the monies he had paid.
