Are you driving a Ford vehicle that keeps breaking down despite multiple repairs?
You purchased your Ford expecting reliability and safety, but instead you’re dealing with constant issues that the dealership can’t seem to fix.
Every time your Ford breaks down, you’re left without transportation, forced to miss work, and stuck with a growing sense of frustration. The stress of driving an unreliable vehicle affects your daily life, creating anxiety every time you get behind the wheel.
Ford dealerships often downplay these problems, claiming they’re “normal” or that you’re “just being picky.” Meanwhile, you’ve made multiple trips to the repair shop, taking time off work and spending hours waiting for repairs that don’t permanently fix the issues.
What many Ford owners don’t realize is that California has powerful lemon laws designed to protect consumers from defective vehicles. When Ford sells defective vehicles and fails to repair them properly, you have legal rights that allow you to get your money back or receive a replacement vehicle.
The longer you wait to address these issues, the more problems you’ll face. Your vehicle’s value decreases with every repair record added, you continue paying for a defective Ford vehicle, and worst of all, you’re driving a potentially unsafe car that puts you and your family at risk.
Common Ford Vehicle Problems
Many Ford models frequently suffer from persistent defects that dealerships struggle to fix permanently. The Ford Focus and Fiesta are notorious for transmission issues that cause dangerous jerking, hesitation, and complete failures while driving.
Ford Explorer and Edge models experience electrical system failures affecting critical safety components. Many Ford owners report backup cameras that suddenly go blank, warning systems that malfunction, and infotainment systems that crash repeatedly.
The Ford EcoBoost engines found in multiple models develop oil consumption problems, misfiring, and coolant leaks despite multiple repair attempts. Engine stalling in the Ford Escape and timing chain issues in the F-150 create serious safety concerns.
Water leaks and structural issues plague the Ford Focus, Fusion, and Explorer, causing electrical shorts and interior damage that returns after repairs. Steering and suspension problems in multiple Ford models lead to poor handling, uneven tire wear, and control difficulties.
These recurring issues not only create safety hazards but cause significant financial damage through diminished vehicle value, lost work time, and rental car expenses while your Ford undergoes yet another unsuccessful repair attempt.
How Car Dealers and Manufacturers Work Against You
Ford and their dealerships have developed sophisticated methods to minimize their liability under lemon laws, often at your expense.
Ford’s representatives may tell you that your problem isn’t covered under warranty despite clear evidence that it should be.
Dealerships frequently “reset” warning lights or perform temporary fixes that make problems disappear just long enough for you to leave the service department.
Your complaints might be documented incompletely or inaccurately in service records, making it harder to prove you’ve made reasonable repair attempts as required by California’s lemon law.
Ford might offer minor compensation like free oil changes or extended warranties instead of properly addressing your right to a buyback under lemon law.
Service advisors sometimes blame your driving habits for mechanical failures, suggesting user error rather than acknowledging manufacturing defects.
Ford representatives may purposely use confusing technical language to make you feel inadequate about questioning their repair decisions.
The manufacturer might drag out the repair process until your warranty period expires, leaving you responsible for future repair costs for problems that began under warranty.

Our Ford Lemon Law Services
Ford Lemon Law Buyback Assistance
Our attorneys guide you through the complete Ford lemon law buyback process, ensuring you receive fair compensation for your defective vehicle. We calculate the exact amount you should receive, including your down payment, monthly payments, and other costs minus a usage fee based on mileage.
We negotiate directly with Ford Motor Company representatives to secure the maximum buyback amount possible, often exceeding what consumers can obtain on their own. Our expertise in the Ford lemon law buyback program details allows us to identify and claim additional compensation you might not know you’re entitled to receive.
Ford Lemon Law Replacement Claims
If you prefer a replacement vehicle rather than a buyback, our lemon law attorneys can negotiate for a new comparable Ford model without the defects you’ve experienced. We ensure the replacement agreement includes proper compensation for any differences in value and that you don’t face unfair charges or fees in the exchange.
We carefully review replacement offers from Ford to ensure they truly compensate you fairly for the problems you’ve endured with your defective Ford vehicle. Our attorneys make certain your replacement vehicle meets all the requirements under California’s lemon law.
Ford Cash Settlement Negotiations
Sometimes a cash settlement while keeping your current vehicle represents the best solution, and our Ford lemon law attorneys excel at negotiating maximum cash settlements. We calculate an appropriate settlement amount based on your vehicle’s defects, repair history, and the depreciated value caused by those problems.
Our attorneys push Ford Motor Company to offer serious cash settlement amounts rather than the token offers they typically make to unrepresented consumers. We ensure any settlement includes compensation for diminished value, repair time inconvenience, and other damages you’ve suffered.
Ford Lemon Law Litigation
When Ford refuses reasonable settlement offers, our litigation team is prepared to take your case to court and fight for your rights under California’s lemon law. Our experienced trial attorneys have successfully litigated against Ford Motor Company numerous times and understand their defense strategies.
We build comprehensive cases using your repair records, expert testimony, and detailed documentation of your vehicle’s problems to establish that your Ford vehicle meets the legal definition of a “lemon” under state lemon laws. Our litigation approach focuses on maximizing your recovery while minimizing the time and stress involved.
Used Ford Lemon Law Claims
Many consumers don’t realize that California’s lemon law can apply to used Ford vehicles that were purchased with a dealer warranty or remaining manufacturer’s warranty. Our attorneys evaluate used Ford purchases to determine if they qualify for lemon law protection.
We help identify whether your used Ford vehicle’s problems originated during the warranty period and build cases that meet the specific requirements for used vehicle lemon law claims. Our experience with used Ford lemon law cases allows us to overcome the additional challenges these claims sometimes present.
Our Contingency Fee Pricing Model
At Consumer Action Law Group, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid when we successfully resolve your ford lemon law claim.
California’s lemon law includes a provision that requires Ford Motor Company to pay your attorney expenses when you prevail in your case. This allows us to provide high-quality legal representation without adding financial burden during an already stressful situation.
Our commitment to contingency fee pricing reflects our confidence in our ability to win your case and our dedication to making legal remedies accessible to all consumers dealing with defective Ford vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my Ford vehicle qualifies as a lemon?
In California, your Ford vehicle may qualify as a lemon if it has substantial defects covered by warranty that persist after a reasonable number of repair attempts – typically 2-4 repair visits for serious safety issues or 4+ visits for other significant problems.
How long does the Ford lemon law buyback process take?
Most Ford lemon law claims are resolved within 3-6 months, though complex cases may take longer, especially if litigation becomes necessary.
Can I pursue a lemon law claim if my Ford warranty has expired?
Yes, if the problems began and were reported while under warranty, you may still have a valid lemon law claim even after the warranty period ends.
What documentation do I need for my Ford lemon law case?
Keep all repair orders, communications with the dealership, and notes about problems experienced, including dates, times, and how the issues affected you.
How much can I recover through a Ford lemon law claim?
You may be entitled to a refund of your vehicle’s purchase price, all taxes and fees, financing costs, minus a usage fee based on mileage when problems began.
What if my Ford problems aren’t exactly like common defects?
Any substantial defect that impairs the use, value, or safety of your Ford vehicle and cannot be fixed after reasonable repair attempts may qualify under lemon law guidelines.
Can I handle a Ford lemon law claim myself without an attorney?
While possible, Ford’s legal team has extensive experience fighting these claims, and consumers without legal representation typically receive far less compensation.
