frequently asked questions
The California Lemon Law (officially the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act) is a state law that protects consumers who purchase or lease new or used vehicles that are still under the original manufacturer’s warranty. It requires the manufacturer to repurchase or replace the vehicle if it has a substantial defect that cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts.
Generally, your vehicle is considered a “lemon” if:
- It has a serious defect covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
- The manufacturer or its authorized dealers have been unable to fix the defect after two or more repair attempts (or a reasonable number of attempts for less serious defects).
- The defect substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety.
- The vehicle was purchased or leased primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.
Successful claims typically result in one of three outcomes:
- Buyback/Repurchase: The manufacturer repurchases the vehicle and refunds the down payment, monthly payments, and registration fees, minus a statutory mileage offset for the time you used the vehicle trouble-free.
- Vehicle Replacement: The manufacturer replaces your defective vehicle with an identical or substantially similar one.
- Cash Settlement: In some cases, you may agree to a cash payment to compensate for the defects while keeping the vehicle.
The timeline varies, but many cases are resolved through settlement within three to nine months without the need for a full trial. Complex cases or those that go to arbitration or court can take longer. We work diligently from the moment you contact us to expedite the process and secure a favorable outcome.
This is a contingency fee agreement. The California Lemon Law mandates that the manufacturer pay for your legal fees and costs when you win. This means our firm will advance all costs of litigation, and you will not pay us a single attorney fee from your own pocket unless we successfully obtain a recovery for you.
