Common EV Defects

Known EV Problems We've Beaten.

Electric vehicles have a whole new category of defects — and California's lemon law absolutely covers every one of them. If any of these match your EV, you likely qualify.

🔋

Battery & Range Loss

Degraded battery range, failed battery packs, BMS faults, 12V auxiliary failures, or inability to hit advertised EPA range. Common on Rivian, Lucid, Bolt, Mach-E, Ioniq, EV6, and Tesla.

🚦

ADAS & Phantom Braking

Sudden unexpected braking, lane-keep errors, adaptive cruise failures. Covers Tesla Autopilot/FSD, Ford BlueCruise, GM Super Cruise, Rivian Driver+, and every OEM driver-assist system.

⚙️

Drive Unit & Motor Failures

Front or rear motor replacement, gearbox whine, HV contactor faults, inverter failure, traction-motor bearing noise. Happens across Rivian, Lucid, Mach-E, Lightning, Polestar, and Tesla.

🔌

Charging, CCS & NACS

DC fast-charging errors, won't charge at Superchargers or Electrify America, CCS port faults, onboard charger failures, NACS adapter bricks. A repeat failure = a clear lemon case.

🔊

Rattles, Squeaks & Wind Noise

Dashboard creaks, headliner rattles, frunk/trunk squeaks, A-pillar wind noise, door-seal whistles. Service centers shrug — we show it's a repeat warranty defect worth real money.

🛠️

Panel Gaps, Paint & Build Quality

Uneven panel alignment, misaligned trunks, paint peeling, orange peel, clearcoat failure, trim delamination. Documented cosmetic and build-quality defects from day one.

🔩

Suspension & Steering

Control-arm failures, upper-link separation, steering rack play, yoke or wheel replacements, humming or clunking over bumps. Multi-visit repairs = a strong lemon case.

🧊

Heat Pump & HVAC

Heat pump failures in cold weather, stuck refrigerant valves, weak AC, defroster problems, cabin fan faults. A well-known EV-era defect we've won on repeatedly across brands.

📱

Screen, Software & OTA Updates

Main screen freezes, black screens, eMMC failures, camera errors, backup camera glitches, software bricks. OTA "fixes" that don't actually fix anything.

Working with Jacob was a huge relief. After calling several other firms about my lemon law case, I knew right away this was the right one. He spent hours on the phone walking me through everything — and got me way more than the manufacturer offered.

FAQ

Questions, Answered.

Does California lemon law cover EVs?

Absolutely. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies to every new vehicle sold in California, including Teslas, Rivians, Lucids, Polestars, and all other electric vehicles. Battery, software, and drivetrain defects are all covered.

What about OTA "fixes" on my EV?

Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Ford, GM — they can all push over-the-air updates all day long. But if the underlying defect keeps coming back, you still have a case. We document each recurrence and prove the OTA didn't actually solve anything.

Is battery degradation covered?

Yes — if your battery falls significantly below EPA-advertised range or manufacturer spec within the warranty period, and repeated service visits don't fix it, California's lemon law applies. Rivian, Lucid, Mach-E, Bolt, Ioniq, and EV6 battery cases all fall under Song-Beverly.

Does it matter what brand of EV I drive?

Not at all. Every EV sold in California is protected under Song-Beverly — from luxury Lucid Airs and Rivian R1Ts to Chevy Bolts, Hyundai Ioniqs, Kia EV6s, and everything in between. We've taken on every major EV manufacturer.

How much can I recover?

Your down payment, all monthly payments, registration and fees, out-of-pocket repairs, and loan interest. In some cases, you can also recover a civil penalty of up to 2× your damages if the manufacturer acted willfully.

How long does a case take?

Most cases resolve in 3–6 months. The majority settle well before trial — manufacturers know California juries don't mess around.

Do you work in my area?

Every county in California — LA, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, San Francisco, Alameda, Santa Clara, Sacramento, Fresno, and everywhere else. Most of the case is handled remotely.
