Repeated Transmission & Engine Problems

Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Trucks

Have you made repeated trips to your Fiat, Chrysler, or Dodge dealership for the EXACT same problem with your vehicle and the problem is never resolved? If so, you may be entitled to file a lemon law claim.

Chrysler 300

The Chrysler 300 has transmission problems, and electrical system problems, across various model years. Complaints have included

check engine light not turning off
loss of power
noise coming from the engine or brakes
fluid leaks
rough shifting
stalling, shuddering, and vibrations

Jeep Lemon Law Claims

Are you having transmission system problems with your Jeep?

Some consumers are being told that it is a software problem that only requires an update while some are being told their transmission systems are operating “normally” for a 9-speed transmission system. The ZF 9HP transmissions have allegedly caused the Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Renegade to lose value, in addition to causing owners repeated trips to Jeep dealerships.

We have been able to help Jeep Compass, Cherokee, Renegade, Liberty, Patriot, and Jeep Wrangler owners win lemon law claims for problems ranging from transmission system failure, engine stalling, failure to start, and activation of all dashboard warning lights.

Lemon Law Claims on Dodge Cars & Trucks

Recurring transmission system problems such as sudden lunging, stalling, and vibrating are just a few of the complaints we have heard from Dodge owners. Some of the Dodge Dart, Charger, Challenger, Journey, Durango, Ram and Grand Caravans may have similar problems that cause vehicle owners to make repeat trips to the Dodge dealership for the exact same problem(s).

With the Dodge Dart, complaints range from rough over-revving before shifting, failing to shift, making a grinding noise, exhibiting a burning smell, or overheating. These problems are related to the Dual Dry Clutch Transmission (DDCT).

The Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500 can also have transmission system problems requiring a lemon law remedy. If your Ram pickup or Dodge Durango SUV is experiencing one or more of the following problems and you have taken your vehicle to an authorized Dodge dealership for repair four or more times for the EXACT same problem, call us to find out if your Dodge is a lemon.

Common transmission system problems we are hearing about the Dodge Ram 1500 from our clients include, but are not limited to:

Hard and erratic shifting;
Transmission slipping;
Lunging when coming to a stop; and
Moving into neutral from a forward gear

Is your Fiat a lemon?

If you are a California resident and you own a Fiat 500e, 500X or Fiat 124 Spider, Promaster, or Ram Promaster City and are experiencing problems such as the car completely shutting down without any warning, transmission problems, airbag and check engine lights that keep coming on, fluid leaks, or any transmission problems and you have had your vehicle in for repair for the exact same problem four or more times, give us a call and we will help you determine whether or not you can file a lemon law claim.

If you have a lemon, look no further than Debbie and her team. I cannot express enough how great she was during the entire process from, intake to resolution. I was updated at every step and was told beforehand what to expect, and in the end, she won our claim against the manufacturer. The entire case took about 2.5 months, which is extremely quick. Whenever I had questions I knew an email reply would be coming the same day. Best of all, I only had to call them once. Everything else was handled by email. After a few exchanges I knew she was effective and detailed. Thank you Debbie for your great work!

This firm is professional and efficient. My case was closed in less than a year and went smoothly from start to finish. They have excellent communication and keep you updated on the progress of your case. I couldn’t have found a better attorney to go through for my lemon buyback!

LEMON LAW TIPS

Please bring your car to the dealership as soon as you notice a problem with your car. The more times you bring your car to the dealership, and the longer it stays in the same dealership, the stronger your lemon law case will be.
When picking up your car at the dealership, do not leave without your repair invoices. While still at the dealership, make sure the date in, and date out are correct, and that the repair invoice reflects the actual repairs performed.
Keep your repair invoices, purchase contract, Certified Pre-Owned Checklist and other vehicle related paperwork in a safe place. If you notice you are missing a past repair invoice, please ask for copies while at the dealership.

Politely, do not take no for an answer at the dealership. Many dealerships will try and convince you that the condition you are describing is normal, and that no repairs are necessary. Nobody knows how your car should drive better than you. Please ask a shop foreman to go on a test drive with you, so that you can better demonstrate the issue, if necessary.
Find a dealership that is able to take your concerns seriously. You do not have to bring your car back to the same dealership
Do not store your repair invoices or purchase contract in the glove compartment of your car. If you keep them in your home or office, we can evaluate the case even while the car is in the dealership.

Considering that our Lemon Law Services are ALWAYS FREE — to California residents — there’s no need for you to try to deal with a lemon vehicle on your own!
