California’s Lemon Law, officially known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, is designed to protect consumers who purchase or lease vehicles with significant defects. This legislation requires manufacturers to repair, replace, or refund the cost of a vehicle that fails to meet quality and performance standards.

When Does the Lemon Law Apply?

The Lemon Law applies to both new and used vehicles that are still under the manufacturer’s warranty. A vehicle is presumed to be a “lemon” if, within the first 18 months from delivery to the buyer or within 18,000 miles (whichever comes first), any of the following occurs:

• Two or more attempts by the manufacturer to repair a warranty problem that could result in death or serious injury.
• Four or more attempts to repair the same warranty problem.
• The vehicle has been out of service for more than 30 days due to warranty-covered issues.

It’s important to note that these repair attempts must be conducted by the manufacturer or its authorized agents.

Steps to Enforce Your Rights Under the Lemon Law

1. Document All Repairs: Keep copies of all work orders and receipts related to the vehicle’s repairs.
2. Notify the Manufacturer: Inform the manufacturer in writing about the persistent issues and unsuccessful repair attempts.
3. Consult with a Specialized Attorney: Navigating the Lemon Law can be complex. Having an experienced attorney can significantly enhance your chances of a favorable outcome.
