A pick-up truck is generally used by small businesses for commercial or personal reasons. A truck is a reliable mode of transportation. You may use a truck to get things done. You may even use this vehicle for recreation. However, the pleasure of owning a truck may get shattered if it frequently breaks down, fails to start or fails to function properly.
Your new truck may become a liability if it has defects or malfunctions. In this scenario, a truck may spend more days in the repair shop than on the road. If the basic features of a truck have defects, then it may spend days or weeks in a repair shop. On the other hand, you may have to spend thousands of dollars to repair the mechanical or electrical defects. If a manufacturer or authorized dealer fails to repair a defect despite multiple attempts, then you may file a Lemon law claim for the remedy of your financial losses. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act protects the owners of pick-up trucks with a manufacturer’s warranty. You truck has to meet the following features to qualify for the protection of California’s Lemon Law:
- Truck is being primarily used for business
- Gross weight of the truck must be less than 10,000 pounds
- A business has five or fewer registered vehicles in California
