Deadlines & Statute of Limitations

Song-Beverly claims generally must be filed within four years, but the start date can be earlier than owners expect, often when you knew or should have known about the defect and the failure to repair.

Whether the defect first occurred during the original manufacturer warranty is a case question. The statute of limitations is a separate filing deadline. Do not assume an 18-month / 18,000-mile story ends your rights - call us.

Dealers merge and service writers leave. Getting repair orders now is easier than reconstructing a timeline years later.
