What is Lemon Law?

How California Protects Consumers

California’s lemon law protects consumers from the 150,000 defective vehicles sold every year statewide. The lemon law states that if your warrantied vehicle cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer is legally required to provide compensation.
California’s lemon law not only applies to cars and trucks but also to motorcycles, RVs, boats, and other motor vehicles. The only catch is that in order to qualify for full compensation, your vehicle must be under warranty.
We know California’s lemon laws inside and out for each make and model on the market. We fight ferociously for our clients to get them the compensation they deserve, so you can trust us to win your case.

Lemon Law FAQs

A ‘lemon’ is a vehicle with significant defects or malfunctions that make it unsafe to drive and that depreciate its value. California’s lemon law states that if your new vehicle has a serious warranty defect that is irreparable even after a reasonable number of attempts to fix it, the manufacturer is required to provide compensation for the defective vehicle.

A ‘lemon’ is a vehicle that comes off the lot with serious malfunctions that make it dangerous to drive and that depreciates its overall value. That said in the state of California, your vehicle must meet the following criteria to be considered a lemon and make you a candidate for a successful lemon law claim:

  • The vehicle is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty
  • You have made two or more unsuccessful repair attempts or the vehicle has been in the shop for 30 or more days (not necessarily in a row)
  • The problem is not caused by abuse of the vehicle or damage that it has resulted from your driving or others’ driving during your ownership of the vehicle
  • Your vehicle’s problems could cause serious injury or death if driven
