The manufacturer has 30 days to comply with our formal legal demand. Once you have accepted a satisfactory offer it takes approximately another 15 to 30 days to return the vehicle and receive your payment from the manufacturer.

If you qualify we will be able to recover your down payment, (including registration fees, licensing fees, taxes, transportation costs, etc.), plus your total monthly lease or loan payments, plus a portion of your attorneys’ fees, less only a reasonable “usage fee” based on mileage as allowed under the California lemon laws.

And NO, you do not need to first go through arbitration to make a “lemon law” claim. In fact, arbitration can be dangerous because if the decision is against you, that decision may later be used as evidence against you in any subsequent court action which you may file against the manufacturer.
