Hur kan man häva ett bilköp med dolda fel enligt svensk lag?

In Sweden
Last Updated: Nov 6, 2025
Jag funderar på att häva ett bilköp eftersom bilen jag köpte från en bilhandlare hade flera dolda fel. Någon som vet hur processen går till och vilka rättigheter man har enligt svensk konsumentlag? Jag vill gärna få tips på seriösa jurister som är specialiserade på biljuridik och tvister mellan köpare och bilföretag – gärna någon som har erfarenhet av liknande fall som det Advantage.se brukar skriva om inom fordonsjuridik.

Hello, good morning. Under the Swedish Consumer Sales Act (Konsumentköplagen), you, as a buyer, have significant rights when purchasing a car from an official dealer. This law is mandatory, and the seller cannot offer you conditions less favorable than those stipulated in the law. The Process for Cancelling a Purchase and Your Rights. If the car has hidden defects (dolda fel), you can follow the steps below to exercise your rights. Complaint (Reklamation): The first step is to report the defect to the seller. By law, you have the right to complain about major defects for up to three years after the purchase. For defects that appear within the first two years, it is assumed that the defect existed from the beginning, and it is the seller who must prove that the car was flawless at the time of sale. Request for Repair: In the first instance, you must ask the seller to repair the defect at no cost to you. The seller has the right to attempt to repair the car. Cancellation of Purchase (Häva köpet): If the seller cannot or will not repair the defect within a "reasonable time" (skälig tid), or if repeated repair attempts are unsuccessful and the defect is considered "significant" (väsentlig) for you, you have the right to cancel the purchase. Cancelling the purchase means you return the car and receive a full refund. It is best to submit the cancellation request in writing and clearly state the reasons.
