Helpful Lemon Law Resources

Polestar Lemon Law FAQ

Does California Lemon Law cover my Polestar 2 if the infotainment system keeps crashing?

Yes. The Polestar 2 relies on its Android Automotive OS infotainment system to control critical vehicle functions including climate, navigation, and charging settings. Repeated crashes or reboots that impair your ability to safely operate the vehicle can constitute a substantial defect under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. If your dealer or Polestar service center has attempted multiple software updates or hardware replacements without resolving the issue, you likely have a strong Lemon Law claim.

Can I file a Lemon Law claim for Polestar 2 TCAM module failures?

Absolutely. The TCAM module is essential for connectivity features, over-the-air updates, and emergency services in the Polestar 2. When it fails, the vehicle loses remote functionality and may not receive critical software patches. California Lemon Law covers any defect that substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle, and TCAM failures have been a widespread and well-documented issue across 2021-2024 model year Polestar 2 vehicles.

Is Polestar's limited presence in California a problem for a Lemon Law claim?

No. Even though Polestar operates through a direct-to-consumer model with limited Polestar Spaces and relies on Volvo service centers for repairs, California Lemon Law still fully applies. The manufacturer is responsible for honoring its warranty regardless of the service network structure. In fact, limited service availability that leads to longer repair times and extended days out of service can actually strengthen your claim under the 30-day out-of-service presumption.

My Polestar 2 experiences phantom braking on the highway. Is this a Lemon Law issue?

Phantom braking is a serious safety defect that makes a strong Lemon Law case. Unexpected hard braking at highway speeds puts you and other drivers at risk of rear-end collisions. Under California law, safety-related defects may require fewer repair attempts to qualify. Even one or two failed repair attempts for phantom braking can be sufficient to establish a Lemon Law claim, especially if the incidents are documented through the vehicle's event data recorder.

Does the Polestar warranty transfer if I bought my Polestar 2 used?

Yes. Polestar's factory warranty transfers to subsequent owners for the remainder of the warranty period, and California's Song-Beverly Act protects used vehicle buyers who purchase with remaining manufacturer warranty coverage. The Polestar 2 comes with a 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and an 8-year/100,000-mile battery and drive system warranty. If your used Polestar 2 has recurring defects within these warranty periods, you are entitled to the same Lemon Law protections as the original buyer.
