Manufacturer Buybacks

Pursuant to the Song Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and the Tanner Consumer Protection Act of California, auto manufacturers must meet certain obligations to their customers. If a consumer discovers that her vehicle is what's colloquially known as a "lemon" – that is, there are persistent mechanical problems that can't be fixed – he or she has a right to a manufacturer buyback of their vehicle as well as other compensation, subject to certain conditions.

One important term to know is "nonconformity." A nonconformity is a problem that substantially impairs the safety, value, or use of a vehicle to the leaseholder or buyer. Essentially, it's what most people would call a defect.

Not all defects will be substantial enough to merit a manufacturer buyback, however, such as:

  • problems with a radio or CD player
  • car paint irregularities
  • less than optimal gas mileage

Some problems may be ambiguous. For instance, if your engine light doesn't work, this may or may not be considered a substantial nonconformity, as it may just be a broken light or an indication of serious engine problem.

In clear cut cases -- such as the car's brake system repeatedly failing even after multiple repair attempts -- consumers may have a (relatively) easy time demonstrating that they deserve a buyback, refund, or other compensation. But in more ambiguous cases – and even in some not so ambiguous cases – auto manufacturers may fight your case vigorously, drawing on expert testimony and leveraging the power of many skilled attorneys.

Other times, manufacturers will offer an unsatisfying halfway solution – providing bad repairs, partial refunds or a replacement car that does not match the vehicle originally purchased.
