The number of repair attempts under factory warranty will vary based upon the nature of the defect, and to what degree it substantially impairs the use or safety of operating the vehicle. The general rule of thumb for the minimum number of repair attempts under warranty for a substantial defect is two (2) repair attempts. California has a “presumption period” of 18 month/18,000 from new, which “presumes” the vehicle is a lemon under a setRead More…
One of the most common (and dangerous) mis-conceptions is that the airbag will save your life. It can, or it can potentially injure you or end your life. A properly positioned drivers seat is the difference. Way too many people sit to close to the airbag. When too close, in an accident the driver cannot “ride down” INTO the airbag. Rather, it explodes (deploys) in their face. The key is to position yourself with yourRead More…
When it comes to our California Lemon Law, consumers are equally protected – regardless of what your car costs. It can be a $199/mo. lease on a Hyundai, a inexpensive (or expensive) used car still under factory warranty at purchase, or the purchase of a $209,000 Bentley. The California lemon law is fair for everybody. It’s not price dependent. It’s WARRANTY dependent. It’s also not dependent upon new or used, leased or purchased. So longRead More…
Ford’s DPS6 dual-clutch transmission is the source of vehicle owner’s complaints of transmission “shuddering”, “shaking”, “lack of power”, and other driveability complaints. There are actually two separate systems to blame for the transmission problems and failures. The first is the dual-clutch. This transmission utilizes a manual clutch with electric motors to change gears. The oil seals within the clutch assembly area fail, splaying oil onto the dual-clutch. This causes the driveability issues. There is noRead More…

I had many issues with my Ford Focus. I was taking it into the shop more than enjoying my new car. I became frustrated and didn't know what to do. I found Law Offices of William McGee and decided to give them a try. I am so glad I did. They walked me through the process of filing a lemon law on my Ford and clearly communicated the documents needed. They took care of everything else. I was super happy with the outcome. Definitely recommend them. Thanks!

I received a great settlement on my 2012 Ford Focus. A little background: soon after I purchased my vehicle I noticed irregular shuddering, which is a major problem with the year and model. The problem persisted for several years and resulted in multiple trips to the dealer, many hours of work and personal time lost, and hundreds of dollars in costs. I spoke with an expert at the firm and they assured me that not only would I qualify for a settlement, but that it would be completely free of charge for me. The process went flawlessly, the service and follow up was amazing, and within 3 months I received a very large check (over 7k!) from Ford as a settlement. Without this company I'd likely be in the process of selling my car at a massive loss and completely clueless on how to resolve the issue. Highly recommend for anyone with a vehicle with constant problems!
