We recently represented a client living in Livermore, CA, regarding his 2012 Mercedes Benz C250w. Nine months ago the car started leaking oil. He had given the Mercedes-Benz authorized dealership at least four opportunities to make the necessary repairs.

Pre Owned 2008 Audi A6 Lemon Law Buyback
(Note: Names have been omitted and some information may have been changed to protect client privacy.)
The California Lemon law provides remedies for purchasers of vehicles that repeatedly fail to meet the standards of quality and performance as provided under the manufacturer express warranty. If a vehicle is purchased “used”, the new owner will usually be protected by the lemon law for the remainder of the warranty. This was the case with a client of ours from Carson, California who bought a certified pre owned (CPO) 2008 Audi A6 from a dealership in Long Beach. Continue reading
Manufacturer Trade-In Not A Substitute For The California Lemon Law
You may have recently received a letter from the manufacturer of your car or truck offering you a trade-in of your vehicle for one of the manufacturer’s new vehicles. While this may at first glance look like a good deal, if you look closely you’ll see the manufacturer is probably only offering you the opportunity to trade up to a newer model. Under this trade in offer you would have to pay off the balance of your existing loan or lease, plus pay the mileage deduction allowed under the California law. Continue reading
2008 GMC Acadia Buyback For Steering & Transmission Problems
A man from Simi Valley California contacted us about his 2008 GMC Acadia. It had over 50,000 miles on the vehicle but his recurrent problems had started at just over 5,000 miles. He kept having problems with the steering column and transmission. After 10 repairs he decided it was time to call the Law Offices of Delsack & Assoc. He was a previous client of Mr. Delsack’s so he knew the drill. He emailed us copies of his purchase agreement, repair orders, registration, and title (he owned the vehicle). Mr. Delsack reviewed the paper work and called him as he thought his vehicle qualified under the California Lemon Law and agreed to represent him again. Continue reading
2012 Jeep Wrangler Leaking T-Top Roof Buyback
We had a gentleman call us about a problem with the T-top in his 2012 Jeep Wrangler. Whenever the vehicle was driven in heavy rain, water would leak in from the middle of the top and drip down onto the dashboard. The first time he experienced the problem was when the vehicle was new with only 900 miles on it. He continued to take the Wrangler to a manufacturer approved repair facility 6 more times for the same problem. He heard about the California Lemon Law and felt like he had given the dealership a reasonable number of repair attempts, so he contacted the Law Offices of Delsack & Associates. Continue reading

In August 2008 a client of ours purchased a new Chevrolet Silverado. The vehicle ran relatively well except for a few minor problems with the doors and drive-shaft.

Over the next few years and after several repair attempts, our client decided to contact the Law Offices of Delsack & Assoc., P.C.. Continue reading
