5 Questions to Ask a Kia Lemon Law Attorney
Have you handled Kia cases?
Ask how many, and how Kia America, Inc. usually responds to buyback and replacement demands. A firm that knows the manufacturer's process can move faster.
What records do you need from me?
Every repair order from the Kia dealer, including "could not duplicate" visits, plus your purchase or lease contract and any warranty paperwork.
Do recall repairs count?
A recall repair for the same problem you reported can count as a repair attempt. Kia has had 80 recalls since the 2021 model year, so ask how your recall history fits your claim.
What will it cost me?
Nothing. California makes the manufacturer pay your attorney fees when you win (Civil Code section 1794(d)). With us you pay $0, win or lose.
Will you go to trial against Kia?
We take cases to trial when a manufacturer will not resolve them fairly.

Kia Lemon Law Attorney FAQ
How do I choose the best Kia lemon law attorney?
Look for Kia case experience, a focus on California lemon law, $0 cost to you, a named attorney, quick answers, trial experience and Google reviews you can read yourself.
Who do I file a Kia lemon law claim against?
The claim is against the manufacturer, not the dealer. For Kia vehicles in the U.S., that is usually Kia America, Inc..
Will Kia buy back my car?
If a warranty defect is not fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, California law requires the manufacturer to repurchase or replace the vehicle, or you can accept a cash settlement and keep it. It does not depend on whether the brand wants to.
Do Kia recall repairs count as repair attempts?
They can, if the recall repair was for the same problem you reported. Keep the recall paperwork with your repair orders.
How much does a Kia lemon law attorney cost?
Usually nothing. The manufacturer pays your attorney fees and costs when you win (Civil Code section 1794(d)). With America's Lemon Lawyer you pay $0, win or lose.
