The Chevrolet Suburban is a popular SUV that has been around for years. Many Chevy Suburban vehicles operate relatively well and have a good reputation. However, there are instances where a Suburban can turn out to be a lemon rife with mechanical or performance issues.
If it turns out your Chevy Suburban is a lemon, do not throw your hands up in despair. You may have legal options under applicable Lemon Law.
Common Problems That May Provide a Basis for a Chevy Suburban Lemon Law Claim
A persistent issue with your Chevy Suburban is both frustrating and inconvenient, but it can also present a significant safety issue, especially if your Suburban exhibits serious electrical or mechanical issues. Some of the most common issues displayed by Chevy Suburban vehicles include:
- Stalling
- Engine failure
- Shaking
- Rough running
- No acceleration
- Reduced power
- Misfires
- Transmission Issues
- Shifting problems
- Jerking
- Erroneous gear shifting
- Rolling while in park
- Surging
- Slippery gears
- Power steering failure
When Does a Chevy Suburban Qualify for a Lemon Law Claim?
Typically, a defective Chevy Suburban would be eligible under Lemon Law rules if it meets the following criterion:
- The Chevy Suburban was purchased new within the last 24 months from an authorized dealership.
- You’ve made at least three attempts to repair the same issue.
- Your Suburban has been out of service for at least 30 nonconsecutive days due to repairs.
It is important to note that Florida Lemon Law only applies to new vehicles covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty. Certified pre-owned vehicles are considered to be used vehicles under Florida law, and there is no Lemon Law protection if you wind up purchasing a used lemon. For pre-owned vehicles, you may have legal options under the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act.
