Chevrolet Car Manufacturing Warranties in Colorado

Shopping for a new Chevrolet vehicle is exciting, exhilarating, and completely stressful. The idea of dropping a significant amount of money on a new car can shake even the steadiest of hands.

One persistent concern is purchasing an expensive new car only to discover a defect just after you bought it from the Chevrolet dealership. Luckily, Colorado car warranty laws, such as Colorado’s Lemon Law, are in place to protect consumers from exactly this scenario.

New Chevrolet purchases come with a manufacturer’s warranty that stipulates a course of action should a defect be discovered by the car’s owner.

However, car dealers and manufacturers will do all they can to avoid actionable warranty claims. Even after you’re brought your car in for the same issue four or more times, they won’t tell you that you can pursue a warranty claim against the manufacturer.

In order to get the solutions you deserve in car warranty cases with Chevrolet, sometimes it is necessary to retain legal counsel. Here are some facts about car warranty laws in Colorado you should be familiar with, brought to you by The Bayas Firm.

What are Car Warranty laws in Colorado for Chevrolet Vehicles?

The most significant car warranty law in Colorado is called the “Lemon Law.” Lemon is a term used to describe a malfunctioning, broken, or defunct automobile. Lemon laws are put in place to protect the consumer who purchases or leases a new car that turns out to be defective.

But, in this instance, a Chevrolet manufacturer’s warranty should protect the consumer in Colorado, right? That is the idea! But unfortunately, car dealers and manufacturers know how to fight warranty claims and the typical consumer does not.

What Chevrolet vehicles are covered by warranty laws in Colorado?

Colorado Lemon Laws cover new passenger vehicles, SUVs, vans, and trucks that are purchased from a registered dealer in Colorado. In order for a vehicle to be considered a “lemon,” it must meet the following requirements:

Was purchased in the state of Colorado
Does not conform to the manufacturer’s warranty
Has substantial defects affecting the use of the vehicle or it’s safety
Has defects that occurred during the first 12-months from the original owners delivery date
Four attempts to repair the same issue has occurred
After four attempts, the manufacturer is notified and given the opportunity to repair the vehicle

Getting justice for Colorado warranty law violations

If your new Chevrolet vehicle purchase is determined to be a lemon under lemon law statute stipulations, the claimant has several options. You may be awarded a comparable (year, make, model) vehicle. You may also qualify for a monetary award, including:

Full purchase price, including taxes
Fees
Attorney’s fees

This monetary amount may be reduced by a deduction for your use of the vehicle.
