Steering SystemsYour vehicle is more than just a means of transportation. It's your freedom to get to work, take your kids to school, and enjoy your favorite activities. We take Lemon Law cases involving faulty steering systems very seriously.

The Dangers of a Faulty Steering System

A faulty steering system can severely endanger the driver and the passengers. A defective component can cause a sudden loss of vehicle control, leading to severe or even fatal accidents.

Common Defective Components

Steering system components that can fail include:

  • Loose or worn components can make the steering feel unpredictable, loose, or even locked up entirely.
  • Power Steering Issues: If the power steering fails, turning the wheel requires much more effort, which can be extremely dangerous in emergency situations.
  • Alignment Problems: Poor alignment can cause the vehicle to pull to one side, making it difficult to control and increasing tire wear.
  • Steering Column Defects: A defect in the steering column can cause the steering wheel to come loose or move unexpectedly.

What to Do if You Suspect a Defect

If you suspect your vehicle has a faulty steering system, you should first stop driving it and take it to a trusted mechanic for diagnosis. If the mechanic confirms the presence of a defect in the steering system, your vehicle may be covered by California's Lemon Law.

Protection Under California's Lemon Law

California's Lemon Law protects consumers who have purchased new or used vehicles with substantial defects that affect their performance or value. If your car has a faulty steering system and meets the criteria set by this law, you may be entitled to significant compensation.

At Mobasseri Law, we understand that a defective vehicle can cause inconvenience, unexpected expenses, and even jeopardize your safety. That's why we are dedicated to defending your rights and fighting for the compensation you deserve.
