Lemon Law Claims for Faulty Airbags and Safety Systems

BY PREMIER LEGAL CENTER, APC May 23, 2025

Faulty airbags and defective safety systems put drivers at serious risk. Your vehicle may qualify as a lemon under California law when these critical components fail. We help clients navigate these complex claims to protect their safety and rights. If you’re experiencing issues, consulting our Los Angeles lemon law lawyer is the first step toward resolution.

How Lemon Law Protects You From Defective Safety Features

California’s lemon law covers vehicles with repeated safety system failures that manufacturers can’t fix. Airbags that don’t deploy, faulty seatbelt pretensioners, and malfunctioning collision avoidance systems may qualify. Our team reviews each case to determine if your vehicle meets the legal requirements for a lemon law claim.

In fact, the NHTSA reports that safety defects account for over 30% of all vehicle recalls in the U.S. each year, highlighting how common and dangerous these failures can be.

Attorney Steven Marchbanks emphasizes that safety-related defects often warrant stronger legal action. Unlike minor issues, defective safety systems create immediate dangers. Manufacturers must either replace your vehicle or provide a full refund when these defects persist after multiple repair attempts.

Why Choose Individual Legal Action Over Recalls

While recalls address widespread safety issues, individual compensation is not guaranteed. Our legal team at Premier Legal Center, APC, fights for claims beyond recall notices. We help clients obtain refunds, replacements, or cash settlements for unresolved safety defects, ensuring accountability and justice.

Recalls often come too late and don’t cover all your losses. Our approach ensures you recover diminished value, rental car costs, and other expenses tied to your defective vehicle. We treat each case with the urgency it deserves when lives are at stake.

Common Signs of Defective Safety Systems

Watch for these warning signs that may qualify for lemon law protection:

  • Airbag warning lights that stay on
  • Failed airbag deployments during collisions
  • Faulty seatbelt mechanisms
  • Repeated electronic stability control failures
  • Malfunctioning blind spot monitoring systems

If you’ve experienced these issues, document all repair attempts. This evidence strengthens your case when pursuing legal action.
