Volvo Lemon Law Buybacks in California

If the defect continues despite several repair attempts, you may be eligible for a buyback.

Is Your Volvo Eligible for a Lemon Law Buyback?
A Volvo may qualify for a buyback if it meets key criteria, such as:
The defect appeared during the manufacturer’s warranty period.
The issue affects the vehicle’s use, value, or safety.
The problem persists despite multiple repair attempts.
The vehicle has spent an excessive amount of time in the shop.
The defect is supported by documented service visits.
If these factors describe your situation, an attorney can determine eligibility and help you understand your next steps.
How to Know if Your Volvo Is a Lemon
Volvos are known for safety and engineering, but defects still happen. Your vehicle may qualify as a lemon if repeated issues interfere with day-to-day use, compromise safety, or significantly reduce its overall value. Problems such as repeated warning lights, engine hesitation, electrical system failures, braking concerns, or transmission irregularities are common indicators.
If these issues continue under warranty and affect the reliability you expect from your vehicle, it may be time to begin a case review with a California lemon law attorney.
Common Volvo Models Classifying as Lemons
Although Volvo has an excellent reputation for quality, several models have faced recurring defects in recent years. When these issues continue despite repeated service visits, they may qualify for lemon law protection.
Common Volvo models with reported problems include:
- Volvo XC60 — transmission hesitation, electrical faults, repeated warning lights
- Volvo XC90 — engine stalling, hybrid battery failures, software malfunctions
- Volvo S60 — steering issues, excessive vibration, sensor failures
- Volvo V60 — brake defects, infotainment glitches, power loss
- Volvo XC40 — drivetrain jerking, HVAC failures, battery drain
- Volvo C40 Recharge — charging difficulties, range irregularities, electrical shutdowns
- Volvo S90 — suspension problems, electrical instability, recurring check-engine lights
When these defects impact safety or reliability, you may have grounds for a California lemon law claim.
