In
the wake of the recent massive Toyota
recalls, Manny Medrano, consumer attorney
for television station KTLA 5 in Los
Angeles, interviewed plaintiff’s
attorney William R. McGee, who specializes
in the California “lemon law”. The
interview was conducted at the law firms
Glendale office. Mr. McGee has represented
over 17,500 California consumers in
“lemon law” cases, and has specialized
in lemon law for over 35 years, with 4
statewide office locations.
The
focus of the interview was not the Toyota
recall, but rather to California
consumer’s rights and how the
California’s lemon law may apply to
them. Mr. Medrano first interviewed a
client of Mr. McGee who had recently
concluded a lemon law case that yielded a
buyback (repurchase) of the client’s
defective Chevrolet Cobalt by General
Motors. Mr. Medrano then interviewed
William R. McGee, fielding questions about
California’s lemon law, how it works,
and what consumers should be aware of in
utilizing this important consumer
protection law.
The
highlight of the interview was that
consumers were introduced by Mr. McGee to
the importance of properly documenting
warranty repair visits by virtue of
obtaining “repair orders” from the
dealership when the vehicle is presented
for repairs.
Also
covered in the story was the point that if
consumers have had repeated repairs for
the same problem during warranty, and
their vehicle has just recently left the
factory warranty, that the consumer may
still be a candidate for a lemon law claim
if the problems still persist.
