Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems are designed to improve safety by detecting potential collisions and automatically applying the brakes to prevent or mitigate crashes. However, when these systems fail to work as intended, they can lead to dangerous situations and leave you questioning the reliability of your vehicle. If your AEB system is defective and ongoing repairs fail to resolve the issue, California’s Lemon Law may provide the protection you need.
At Galstyan Law Firm, we specialize in helping vehicle owners and lessees hold manufacturers accountable for defects in their cars, including problems with advanced safety technologies like AEB systems.
Understanding AEB System Defects
AEB systems rely on a combination of sensors, cameras, and software to detect obstacles and activate the brakes when necessary. While these technologies can reduce the severity of accidents, defects in AEB systems can cause serious safety concerns, including:
- False Alarms: The system activates the brakes unnecessarily, causing sudden and unexpected stops.
- Failure to Activate: The system does not engage when a collision is imminent, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Sensor Malfunctions: Issues with radar or camera sensors leading to improper detection of obstacles.
- Software Glitches: Erratic or inconsistent system behavior due to programming errors.
- Compatibility Issues: Problems with the integration of the AEB system with other vehicle functions.
These defects not only compromise safety but also create frustration and loss of confidence in your vehicle.
How Lemon Law Protects You from Defective AEB Systems
Under California Lemon Law, if your vehicle’s AEB system has significant defects that impair its use, safety, or value and these issues persist after reasonable repair attempts, you may be entitled to compensation or other remedies.
You may qualify for relief under Lemon Law if:
- The manufacturer or authorized repair facility has failed to fix the AEB system after multiple attempts.
- The vehicle’s defect falls within the warranty period.
- The defect poses a significant safety risk or reduces the vehicle’s value.
Your Options Under California Lemon Law
If your vehicle’s AEB system is defective and repairs have not resolved the issue, you may be entitled to one of the following remedies:
- Replacement Vehicle: A new vehicle of comparable value and features to replace your defective car.
- Refund: A full refund of the vehicle’s purchase price, including taxes, registration fees, and financing costs.
- Reimbursement for Costs: Compensation for repair costs, rental cars, towing expenses, and other related expenses.
