Changes to Colorado's lemon law might have unintended consequences
Lemon laws, by nature, are meant to protect consumers, and last year Colorado made changes to the existing law to add further protections. While there were positive changes made through this legislation, one woman is coming forward with her story of how it's left her stranded. When Rosa Hernandez purchased a brand-new Toyota Corolla Cross, she was ecstatic. "It has all the bells and whistles, all the great safety features," said Hernandez. "And I was happy. I was very excited until it started having issues." After putting just 22,000 miles on the vehicle, it began to have serious issues. "Within that month, you know that this vehicle was in the shop for about 22 days for three different reasons," Hernandez said. The issues included brake problems, prompting Hernandez to request that Toyota replace or repurchase the vehicle. Under the updated Colorado Lemon Law, manufacturers can decide the remedy. In her case, she says Toyota chose the buy-back option. "Having to deal with this already, has already caused me a lot of emotional distress," said Hernandez. Another change in the law establishes a formula for manufacturers to calculate how much they can deduct from a car owner's refund. But Hernandez' attorney says the way the law is written allows manufacturers to inflate numbers. "It says total contract price," said Shalev Amar of Amar Law Group, representing Hernandez. "The issue is there's a bunch of items that go to the total contract price that have nothing to do with the actual vehicle purchase price. For example, if there's maintenance, service contracts, extended warranties, things of that nature." Hernandez and the attorneys she's working with say Toyota agreed to pay off the remainder of her loan and take the vehicle back, but she'll have to pay over $5,000 in what they call 'usage fees'. "Where am I going to even get that money to start off with?" said Hernandez. Adding in the $15,000 she's already made in payments, Hernandez would be paying over $20,000 toward a vehicle, with no vehicle to show for it. "Our firm operates in 12 states," said Amar. "Of all the states that we operate in, I would say the Colorado Lemon Law is the worst." And in the meantime, Hernandez is paying on a car that just sits in the driveway. "I just want to bring fairness. I just want a fair option, and that's all I'm asking for," she said. CBS Colorado reached out to the bill's sponsors but hasn't been able to get in touch with them on whether they think the law needs to be modified.

Skipping a Software Update in a GM Vehicle Could Cost Owners Later
GM's policy for software updates on 2025 vehicles reveals that not updating on time could result in higher repair costs later, as reported by GM Authority. Owners must install the over-the-air updates within 45 days of the update becoming available. If they do not, any damage related to the out-of-date software will not be covered by the warranty. In a world of constantly changing technology, it can be hard to keep up. Applications and operating systems are constantly being improved, pushing updates to your phone, laptop, other smart devices—and nowadays, even cars. Sometimes we don't update right away, however, whether it's out of laziness or fear that the updated system will introduce new bugs of its own. But if you own a vehicle built by General Motors, you won't want to procrastinate, as delaying an update could cost owners big time. According to GM's official Limited Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklets, owners need to install over-the-air updates within 45 days of the update becoming available, as reported by GM Authority. If owners do not install the update within that period, any resulting damage caused by the failure to perform the update will not be covered by the vehicle's warranty. This applies to 2025 and 2026 models and includes all four brands under GM's umbrella: Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC. Michael Simari | Car and Driver Over-the-air software updates are becoming increasingly common in the automotive world. GM has been rolling out a new electronic architecture that allows for OTA updates that fix bugs, improve performance, and sometimes add new features without forcing the owners to bring their car to the dealership. However, leaving it up to the customer to install the update means that some updates might get missed, and if something goes wrong later due to that uncompleted update, we now know it could lead to an expensive dealership visit. For those who tend to wait on updates to make sure all the bugs are ironed out, GM's policy states that that won't be an issue, stating, ". . . if an Over-the-Air software update causes damage to the vehicle, that damage will be covered for the applicable warranty coverage period." Since any new bugs would be fixed for free, the best move seems to be to install any OTA updates as soon as they become available. We've reached out to General Motors for clarification on the policy and will update this story if we hear back.

‘This Happens All the Time to Customers:' Man Buys Brand-New Toyota 7 Months Ago. Now He Says the Warranty's Been Voided
A Toyota customer reveals that Toyota denied his warranty claim to fix his steering wheel, which is already peeling after seven months. As of this writing, the TikTok has gone viral, generating over 125,900 views. The Leather Started to Disintegrate, and It's Not Your Problem? In the post, Zane (@clinicallyinzane) shares his frustration toward Toyota for denying his warranty claim to fix his steering wheel. The short, silent message spoke loudly. 'Maybe Karen's are right sometimes, because what do you mean Toyota isn't warranting a car I bought seven months ago?' he writes in an on-screen caption. In a follow-up post , he explains why Toyota denied him coverage to fix his steering wheel. The video reveals the steering wheel leather bubbling, which he believes will peel shortly. 'That's not covered by warranty because that could be your hand oils,' he says the dealership told him. 'I don't drive telekinetically, I drive with my hands,' Zane replies. Zane told Motor1 , 'I have my steering wheel Softex 'leather' bubbling up and detaching from the wheel at under 30k miles, only after buying it 7 months ago. The dealer sent it to Toyota which they denied due to 'external factors' but can't say the exact reason why. It's been escalated, but I was told it is unlikely to be fixed.' SofTex is a synthetic leather seat material designed for wear, easy cleaning, and resisting spills, Toyota reports. While SofTex is supposed to be easy to clean, other Toyota drivers have shared similar frustrations with the SofTex leather peeling apart . 'A brand new car denying a warranty because hands touch the wheel. This steering wheel isn't designed to be touched. The leather started to disintegrate and it's not your problem?' Zane concludes. This Happens All the Time Viewers chimed in to share about their Toyota warranty stories and how they were also denied coverage. 'Nope, they will fight tooth and nail to avoid warranting. I had a 23 Tundra and my motor blew 'known issue now' and they partially rebuilt it and left bad parts in. They just told me 'oops nothing we can do now',' one TikTok commenter shared. 'Toyota declined to warranty an axle replacement. I have an extended warranty & they said because I had lowering springs they wouldn't be covering it,' another replied. 'I've been a Toyota MDT since 2005. This happens all the time to customers. Any type of outside influence results in the repair not being covered by Toyota,' a master diagnostic technician shared. Additionally, Toyota drivers on car enthusiast forums have shared their stories about coverage being denied. These denied warranty claims included issues with technology , blown engines , and transmissions . 'Toyota has a long history of giving people run-arounds on warranty & recalls. Their service centers are a joke,' one TikTok commenter shared. What Causes a Warranty Claim to Be Denied? Automakers and warranty companies are in business to make money, which means that they aren't ecstatic to pay every claim that comes through, CarTalk reports. According to Lawyers , vehicle warranty claims can be denied for several reasons, including: Failing to maintain the vehicle or not following a regular maintenance schedule: This includes not doing oil changes, tire rotations, or scheduling other routine services as specified in the owner's manual. Using unauthorized parts or service providers: Using aftermarket parts for modifications or using an unauthorized service center may disqualify your warranty. Misuse or abuse of the vehicle: This includes using the vehicle in a way that the manufacturer didn't intend, like going off-road in a car that isn't designed for that activity, racing, or overloading the vehicle beyond the recommended amount. What Should You Do If Your Claim Is Denied? A claim denial is not the end of the road. Once you've received an official claim denial, you should ask for a copy of the decision in writing, CarTalk reports. Once you know the reason for the claim denial, you might be able to dispute it by providing supporting documentation such as receipts and repair records, Lawyers states. In the case of Zane, viewers suggest contacting Toyota of America . 'Contact Toyota of America, they hate it when you do that,' one shared. 'I did and they gave the same run around,' Zane replied. More viewers suggested taking this denied claim to the attorney general and filing a claim with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) . 'Then go to the attorney general in your state. Also make sure you did nothing to void the warranty,' one commenter suggested. 'File a complaint with the BBB,' another added.
