Common Misconceptions about the Lemon Law
Put one of the nation’s strongest Lemon Laws to work for
you!
If you are experiencing problems with your new or used vehicle in the State of California, you are
fortunate to have one of the nation’s strongest Lemon Law on your side. The Song-Beverly
Consumer Warranty Act, California Civil Code Section 1793.2, commonly known as the
“California Lemon Law” provides broad protection to California consumers and an effective
means to get rid of your defective vehicle. Contact Krohn & Moss, Ltd. Consumer Law Center ®
to find out if you qualify for some form of relief under the California Lemon Law.
You may be entitled to a refund or replacement if the
problems with your vehicle started during the
manufacturer’s warranty.
While the California Lemon Law requires a consumer to provide a vehicle manufacturer with a
reasonable number of attempts to repair a defect that substantially impairs the use, value, or
safety of a vehicle, the repair opportunities may extend throughout the lifetime of the vehicle.
Unlike the lemon laws of many states that require a consumer to tender the vehicle for repair 3 or
4 times in the vehicle’s first 12, 18, or 24 months in order to even bring a claim, the California
Lemon Law requires only that the consumer provide the manufacturer with a reasonable
opportunity to repair the vehicle during the manufacturer’s warranty. Any additional repair
attempts may occur after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired. This way, if you experience a
problem early in the lifetime of your vehicle and it comes back later, you are not left without
recourse. However, if your problems did happen to arise early during your ownership of the
vehicle, you may be entitled to a legal presumption under the California Lemon Law that your vehicle
is a Lemon. Specifically, if you have provided the manufacturer, through its authorized
dealerships, with 4 opportunities to repair a defect in your vehicle or the vehicle has been out of
service for repair for a total of 30 or more days, within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles of
your ownership of the vehicle, then California law presumes your car is a Lemon. Nevertheless,
whether you meet this legal presumption or not, so long as you have afforded the manufacturer a
reasonable number of attempts to repair your vehicle during your entire ownership of the vehicle,
you may be eligible to recover, at your option, a refund for your purchase or a replacement vehicle of
comparable value.
The California Lemon Law applies to:
All new, used, or "demo" motor vehicles, including motorcycles, boats or motor homes
Consumer goods, including home appliances, computers, televisions and spas
Vehicles purchased or leased in California intended to be used primarily on public roads
Vehicles used for business purposes where there are less than five vehicles registered to
the business and the vehicle has a declared gross vehicle weight of less than ten thousand
(10,000) pounds
