What Is Lemon Law?

If your new vehicle has a serious warranty problem that the car dealer is not able to repair after a reasonable number of unsuccessful repair attempts, then in California, you may be eligible for a refund or a replacement vehicle.

Lemon laws in California apply to new and used vehicles that have a manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty. This includes:

• Cars, pickup trucks, vans, SUVs
• Vehicles purchased or leased for business or personal use
• Motor home chassis, chassis cab, and drive train

What is a “Reasonable” Number of Repair Attempts?

There is no hard and fast rule, but based on the Lemon Law Presumption in California, there are parameters for assessing when a “reasonable” number of attempts have been made:

• After four or more efforts, the manufacturer or dealer is unable to solve the problem
• If the issue may cause death or serious injury if the car is driven, and the manufacturer has made at least two attempts to fix it
• The vehicle has been in the shop for over 30 days (not necessarily in a row) for any issues that are covered by the warranty

If the dealer or manufacturer cannot fix your vehicle, and you have a lemon law case, then the manufacturer must replace your vehicle or refund you the purchase price, whichever you choose.
