Recalls, repairs and the lemon law
A recall alone does not make a car a lemon. What counts is a defect the dealer cannot fix: most states presume a lemon after 3 or 4 repair attempts for the same problem, fewer for a defect that could cause a crash, or about 30 days in the shop, inside the first one to two years. A recall repair for a defect that keeps coming back is a repair attempt like any other, so keep the repair order from every visit.
In California, Fca Us opted in to the state's new lemon law process on April 25, 2025. Owners send the written demand to warrantynotice@stellantis.com at least 30 days before suing. How the new process works
How a Chrysler lemon law claim and buyback work
Keep the repair order from every visit, then write to Chrysler, not only the dealer, at the customer relations address in your owner's manual or warranty booklet, and ask for a buyback or a replacement. In a buyback Chrysler refunds the price, taxes and fees and costs like towing, minus a deduction for the miles you drove before the first repair, and pays off the loan.

About the data
