Volvo Lemon Law Lawyers

You can check for open Volvo recalls at NHTSA.gov by entering your VIN.

However, a recall and a lemon law claim are two different things. A recall addresses a specific safety defect across a model line — Geely fixes it for free, and that’s the end of it. A lemon law claim covers any substantial defect that the dealer can’t fix after a reasonable number of attempts, whether or not it’s been recalled.

In our practice, we regularly see Volvo vehicles with recurring problems that were never subject to a recall — persistent transmission issues, electrical failures, engine problems — that absolutely qualify under state lemon laws.

If your Volvo keeps going back to the dealer for the same issue, don’t wait for a recall.

Geely’s buyback program is not a voluntary goodwill offer — it’s a legal obligation triggered when a vehicle meets lemon law criteria under your state’s statute. When Geely “buys back” a vehicle, they repurchase it at the original sale price minus a mileage offset for the use you got before the defect appeared.

The process involves filing a formal lemon law demand, negotiating with Geely’s legal team, and surrendering the vehicle once terms are finalized. Geely does not advertise this — you need to assert your rights.

Easy Lemon handles the entire process at no cost to you, because Geely is required to pay our attorney’s fees under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Based on cases our firm has handled, the Volvo XC90 leads in lemon law claims, followed by the XC60, EX90, XC40. Electrical/ Technology and Engine/ Transmission are the primary drivers across all Volvo models.

If your Volvo has been to the dealer multiple times for the same unresolved problem, you likely have a valid claim regardless of the specific model.

From our caseload, the most common Volvo defects we pursue under lemon law include: electrical and technology defects (infotainment malfunctions, sensor failures, wiring issues); engine and transmission failures (stalling, rough shifting, loss of power, check engine lights); brake, steering, and suspension problems.

The key qualifier isn’t the specific defect — it’s whether the dealer has had a reasonable number of attempts to fix it and failed.

If your Volvo has been in the shop three or more times for the same problem, or out of service for 30 or more cumulative days, you likely have a valid lemon law claim.

Yes — all Volvo electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are fully covered under state lemon laws and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

EV-specific defects like battery degradation, charging system failures, range that falls significantly below specifications, and software glitches are strong lemon law claims because they directly impact the vehicle’s core function.

In our practice, EV cases are growing as manufacturers push new technology that dealers often lack the training and tooling to properly diagnose and repair.

Yes — and acting while the warranty is active strengthens your case.

Most state lemon laws require the defect to occur during the manufacturer’s warranty period.

If your Volvo has been in the shop three or more times for the same unresolved problem — or out of service for 30 or more cumulative days — you likely have a valid claim.

Don’t wait until the warranty expires.

Easy Lemon evaluates your case for free and handles the entire process at no cost to you.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a federal consumer protection law that works alongside your state’s lemon law to protect Volvo owners nationwide.

Under Magnuson-Moss, when Geely’s warranty fails in its essential purpose — meaning the dealer cannot fix a covered defect despite reasonable attempts — you can pursue a refund, replacement, or damages regardless of which state you live in.

Critically, Geely is required to pay your attorney’s fees if you prevail, which is why Easy Lemon can represent you at no out-of-pocket cost.
