What Is California Lemon Law?
The Lemon Law in California is legally entitled the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act under California Civil Code Ā§Ā§ 1790 et seq. This statute provides consumer protection for those who purchase or lease a vehicle that continues to have a defect after a reasonable number of repair attempts, requiring the vehicleās manufacturer to buy back the vehicle or replace it. Under the Lemon Law, the repurchase of a defective vehicle by the manufacturer must include reimbursement of the vehicleās down payment, monthly payments made, and the remaining balance of the loan.
Does My Vehicle Qualify as a Lemon?
The term, āreasonable number of repair attemptsā is analyzed on a case-by-case basis. However, your vehicle presumptively qualifies if it meets certain conditions. A vehicle is presumed to be a lemon and qualifies for a buyback or replacement under the following conditions:
The defect first appeared within 18 months of the vehicleās purchase or the first 18,000 miles driven
The defect was covered under the vehicleās warranty
The vehicle has undergone four or more failed repair attempts and remains defective, or
The vehicle has undergone two or more failed repair attempts if the defect is a significant safety hazard, or
The vehicle has spent 30 or more days in the repair shop (not necessarily consecutively)
If your vehicle meets the above criteria, you may be entitled to a refund, buyback, or replacement vehicle.
