Recurring Transmission Problems Leading to Lemon Law Claims
Transmission problems can be among the most frustrating and dangerous issues drivers face. When a vehicle’s transmission slips, jerks, fails to shift properly, or emits unusual noises, it becomes more than just an inconvenience—it becomes a safety risk. These recurring issues affect the vehicle’s performance and can lead to breakdowns at critical moments. When transmission problems continue even after multiple repairs, drivers may have the right to pursue a claim under California’s Lemon Law.
Your Rights Under California Lemon Law
We understand how frustrating it is to experience the same transmission problem repeatedly. If a vehicle is still under warranty and the dealership cannot fix the issue after a reasonable number of attempts, you may qualify for relief. A qualified San Diego lemon law lawyer from our team can help you determine if your situation meets the requirements under California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, more commonly known as the Lemon Law. This law protects consumers from defective vehicles that fail to meet performance and safety standards.

Our approach starts with understanding your situation and gathering evidence that proves your car qualifies as a lemon. Transmission issues are among the most common problems in lemon law claims. When a manufacturer or dealership cannot repair the same defect after several visits, the law may entitle you to a vehicle replacement or a refund. Steven Lance Marchbanks has represented numerous vehicle owners who have faced repeated transmission failures, helping them take legal action to protect their rights.

Signs of a Defective Transmission
A defective transmission may show symptoms such as hesitation while shifting, delayed acceleration, gear slipping, fluid leaks, and grinding noises. When these issues continue to occur, especially within the warranty period, the car likely qualifies for lemon law protection. Even if the dealership says the problem is “normal” or “cannot be replicated,” continued defects after repeated attempts at repair strengthen your claim.
