You love that new car smell, but not when you start to smell a lemon. Large vehicle manufacturers have a legal obligation to live up to the terms of their warranties, but they prefer to address problems by sending consumers back to the repair shop for repeated failed repair attempts indefinitely. The Lemon Law Lawyers in San Clemente know when to say enough is enough and it’s time to hold the manufacturer accountable. Call Young & Young APC for a free case evaluation and fast action on your Lemon Law claim.

Is My Car A Lemon Under the Law in California?
Some vehicle owners endure the inconvenience and compromised safety of a defective vehicle for far too long. The California Song-Beverly Warranty Act, known as the “Lemon Law” states that consumers are entitled to a refund, replacement, or buyback after “repeated repair attempts.” But how many repairs does it take to make a lemon? Your vehicle may be a lemon under the following circumstances:
The vehicle repairs were covered under the original factory warranty
The vehicle has had at least four failed repair attempts on the defect, or
It’s had at least two failed repair attempts for a defect that’s a safety hazard, or
It’s spent 30 or more days in a repair shop (consecutive or non-consecutive)
The above conditions lower the car’s value and usefulness which compels the manufacturer to address the problem fairly with a refund, replacement vehicle, or buyback.
What If I Have a Used Car That’s Had Repeated Failed Repair Attempts?
Used and leased cars also qualify for Lemon Law claims under the Song-Beverly Warranty Act. If you purchased a used car that’s still under its original warranty and wasn’t sold “as is,” you may be entitled to legal recourse if your vehicle has had multiple failed warranty repair attempts. Leased vehicles that meet the Lemon Law standard also qualify.
