Do
you own a new (or used
under GM factory warranty)
Pontiac GTO that has had
repeated symptoms/problems, and
at least one of the
symptoms/problems has been
subject to 3 or more repair
attempts at the dealership
during the original GM factory
new vehicle 3 year/36,000 mile
limited warranty, 5 year/100,000
mile extended "powertrain"
warranty (if your year of GTO is
applicable), or "GM Certified
Pre-Owned" warranty? A number of
Pontiac GTO’s had various
known mechanical, drivability,
and/or safety impairment issues.
If you have had multiple
warranty repair attempts for the
same issue, or an excessive
number of days in the shop, you
may have a Pontiac GTO that
qualifies for coverage under
California’s Lemon Law. You
could receive your money back.
Additionally, in some cases, you
may qualify for "cash and keep",
receiving many thousands of
dollars while still retaining
ownership of your present GTO!
If
you feel that you meet the "3 or
more repair attempts" criteria
noted above, please call us at
the toll-free number below to
receive a FREE Lemon Law case
review and evaluation of your vehicle.
PLEASE
NOTE:
For engine/drive-ability/etc.
cases, we do not accept cases
for review in which the owner
has modified the vehicle via
installation of aftermarket
performance "chips", "mapping", "intake
systems" and "starting at the
exhaust manifold" exhaust
systems, etc.
We also do not pursue
cases wherein one or more repair
invoice on your Pontiac GTO
states "outside influence –
not a warranty issue" or "evidence
of tampering". If the vehicle is
used for "business
purposes," a lemon law
claim/case cannot be brought on
that vehicle if there are more
than 5 vehicles registered to
the owner/business.
Cases that are accepted will be
at a very low "contingency fee"
to the consumer (attorney’s
fees billable to auto
manufacturer under statute if
attorney settles case).
We
would like to stress that
today’s Pontiac GTO’s are
one of the highest quality and
most technologically advanced
sports cars on the market, and
that the issues noted above will
likely not happen to most owners
of these vehicles. That being
said, despite a manufacturer’s
best efforts, some GTO’s will
turn out to be "lemons" by their
qualifying warranty repair
histories. For these vehicles
California’s largest lemon law
firm can be a great asset to
consumers in getting their legal
entitlement under the California
Lemon Law.
The
California Lemon Law protects
consumers that purchase or lease
new Pontiac GTO in the state of
California, register them here
via paying California tax and
license (registration), and have
their warranty repairs performed
at factory authorized California
Pontiac (or GM) dealership
locations. Consumers must keep
their warranty work receipts, or
gain a "warranty repair history"
printout from the dealership to
prove the repairs/repair visits
that have taken place.
Our
lemon law statute in California
provides the manufacturer of
your vehicle with a "reasonable"
number of repair attempts to
rectify the problem/symptom. The
number of repair visits
necessary to be "reasonable" is
relative to how many months the
car has been in warranty
service, the description and
substantiality of the
symptom/problem, and the number
of miles currently on the car.
It should be noted that contrary
to what you may read in your
vehicles warranty book,
California has no requirement
for "arbitration", allowing the
consumer to directly seek and
retain legal counsel to
represent them in a "lemon law"
case.
Manufacturer’s
"Customer Assistance Centers"
give out "case numbers", which
are NOT a lemon law case, but
rather simply a reference number
for the next time you call in
with a complaint.
Watch
out for the age-old trick of the
"dealer trade assist" or similar
wording used by some car dealers
if a customer complaints about
his/her Pontiac GTO that has
symptoms and/or problems.
Customers are often told "we
will get you out of your problem
car and into a new one". Don’t
fall for this time-worn consumer
ploy. This is simply the dealer
trying to take your Pontiac back
in trade and sell you a
different make or model, taking
all the negative equity from
your current GTO and hiding it
in the loan or lease on the new
replacement vehicle.
Our
California lemon law is the
avenue car buyers utilize to get
their money back, or a
substantial cash settlement
payment.
Under
our California statute,
consumers who buy or lease a new
vehicle (or a used GTO that is
still under the manufacturer’s
new vehicle warranty or "Certified
Pre-Owned" CPO warranty program)
all get to exercise their
California Lemon Law rights if
they have a qualifying repair
history.
We invite you to call us today. We are consumer
advocates. We are on
your side. We have
settled over 11,000 California
lemon law cases. We have
21 years of experience as we do
ONLY "lemon law cases" - no
other area of legal practice.
