Filing a California Lemon Law claim against Mercedes-Benz may seem straightforward, especially when you’ve spent thousands on a luxury vehicle that’s spent more time in the shop than on the road. However, many consumers are surprised to find their claims denied, delayed, or dismissed by the manufacturer. Even when the facts are on your side, Mercedes-Benz may fight your case in ways designed to wear you down.
At Shainfeld Law, our Los Angeles lemon law attorneys help California drivers stand up to powerful automakers. If Mercedes-Benz has denied your Lemon Law claim—or you’re worried they might—we’re here to explain why it happens and how we push back to get you the compensation you deserve.
Why Mercedes-Benz May Reject a Legitimate Lemon Law Claim
Even with strong consumer protection laws in California, manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz often look for reasons to deny responsibility.
Some of the most common reasons for rejection include:
- Claiming “no defect exists”: The dealer may report “no problem found” or say the issue couldn’t be replicated, despite your repeated complaints.
- Blaming you for the issue: Mercedes-Benz may argue that improper use, modifications, or lack of maintenance caused the problem.
- Saying it was already fixed: The dealer may perform a temporary repair and claim the issue has been resolved, even if it returns shortly afterward.
- Disputing repair attempts: If your car was taken to multiple dealerships or you didn’t return it promptly, Mercedes-Benz may claim they weren’t given a fair chance to fix the issue.
- Minimizing the impact: They may argue that the defect doesn’t affect the car’s “use, value, or safety,” which is a core requirement of a Lemon Law claim.
These tactics are often designed to confuse, discourage, or delay you from pursuing your legal rights.
