Nissan Problems Recalls – California Lemon Law

Are you experiencing any Nissan problems? Do you own or lease a new (or used under Nissan factory certified pre-owned warranty) Nissan car, truck or SUV that has had repeated symptoms and problems, and at least one of the symptoms/problems has been subject to 3 or more repair attempts at the dealership during the original 3 year/36,000 mile factory “bumper-to-bumper” warranty or 5 year/60,000 mile “power train” warranty? (or certified pre-owned warranty) Any model Nissan from 2019 to 2025 may potentially qualify based upon its history of repeated repairs that have substantially impaired the use and/or safety of the vehicle. These models include Altima, Sentra, Versa, Maxima, Quest, Rogue, 350Z, Pathfinder, Titan, Armada, Murano, Xterra, Cube or Hybrid. A number of Nissan vehicles have had various known mechanical and/or safety impairment issues. A number of models have been subject to Recalls. 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 Nissan vehicle that qualifies for coverage under California’s Lemon Law. You could receive your money back, a new replacement vehicle (used vehicles not applicable to replacement option), or a substantial cash settlement and keep the vehicle! Some common Nissan problems…

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”, “cold-air 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 Nissan 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 Nissan Motor Corporation manufacturer’s and distributes one of the highest quality and most technologically advanced line of passenger vehicles, trucks, and SUV’s 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 Nissan vehicles 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 or under-warranty used Nissan vehicles 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 Nissan 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. Recalls that are performed under warranty wherein the consumer does NOT lodge a complaint that results in a recall repair does not get that repair “counted” as a “repair attempt” under our California Lemon Law. The customer must state a complaint, the dealer performs recall (recalls) relative to that complaint, and

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 Nissan that has symptoms/problems. Customers are often told “we will get you out of your car and into a new one”. Don’t fall for this time-worn consumer ploy. This is simply the dealer trying to take your Nissan back in trade and sell you a new one, taking all the negative equity from your current Nissan 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 negotiated cash settlement.

Under our California statute, consumers who buy or lease a new vehicle (or a used Nissan that is still under the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty or “Certified Pre-Owned” warranty program) all get to exercise their California Lemon Law rights if they have a qualifying repair history.
