Stellantis Lemon Law
Protecting Owners of Defective Fiat Chrysler Vehicles
In 2021, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles merged with PSA Group to become Stellantis. Though the name of this multinational company changed, it continues to produce its staple American and Italian brand vehicles. These cars, trucks, and SUVs are still the same vehicles they were before the merger, which means they are still subject to the same defects that plagued their predecessors.

How Many Times Do I Need to Take My Car Back to the Dealer Before I Have a California Lemon Law Claim?
The California Lemon Law states that dealerships must be given a reasonable number of opportunities to repair a vehicle. The law is fairly broad, leaving room for a variety of different circumstances. Since the law does not require any specific number of repair visits, each matter should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Typically, four visits for the same problem will qualify, but, depending on the defect, fewer visits may suffice. For example, a defect as severe as brake system failure may only require two visits. Moreover, if a vehicle spends a cumulative total of over 30 days in the shop for warranty repairs, it may satisfy the requirement no matter how many separate visits were made.
