How? Lemon Laws require a persistent unreasonable issue to invoke.

• floatingatoll 9y ago
  3 days of "entire nav and sound system now completely inoperable" out of, say, 30 days of lemon law window, would theoretically qualify as both persistent and unreasonable in a new car — if the selling dealership says they are unable to resolve the issue, and they are unable to provide a timeline for resolution of the issue, when asked. This would be less arguable if the manufacturer simply shipped the same nav+audio in all cars worldwide, but since they usually reserve this sort of thing for "fancy expensive upgrade options", selling a fancy option that goes dead within a week and stays dead without a timeline for repair is quite in-scope for Lemon concerns.

    This wouldn't qualify under the California Lemon Law - it may very well take a dealer more than three days to diagnose the issue, for example, in this case, the diagnosis is occurring at the manufacturer, and a fix being worked out. It would be another thing entirely, if the issue kept occurring, repeatedly over months, and the manufacturer was unwilling or unable to repair it.

    My parents went through a lemon law case on a Corvette related to the electronic system and alarm. The car would either set off alarm or electronic system wouldn't start the car. It took them 5 tows, hours of phone calls and a few trips to the dealer before GM was willing to accept. Lemon law exists but its not as simple as my car rebooted last few days, take it back.

  As of May 2018 all new cars sold in the USA are required to have video backup cameras. If a bricked IVI unit causes that camera to not be available, I wonder if that's enough to qualify as return issue.
