Honda Lemon Law Lawyer in California
Honda vehicles are generally regarded for their reliability, making them a top choice for drivers who want to avoid headaches on the road. However, even the most reliable manufacturers can sometimes produce cars with serious malfunctions.
If your recently purchased Honda can’t seem to stay out of the repair shop and is suffering from the same defects time and again, don’t worry, you may be protected under California’s Lemon Laws. If it is determined that you may have bought a lemon, the expert attorneys at Golden Lemon by Compass Law Group, LLP will help you file a claim that can award you compensation, free of charge.
Is Your Honda a Lemon?
Recently purchased vehicles with persistent malfunctions that severely damage their value and safety are typically considered lemons. If your vehicle has been in the repair shop for 30 cumulative days while under warranty or if the manufacturer has tried to fix the vehicle multiple times and failed, you are likely protected under California’s Lemon Laws.
To ensure that you receive the best possible compensation for your lemon, it is important that you document your vehicle’s failed repairs and your conversations with the dealer/manufacturer. The general rule is that filing a claim within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles of your vehicle’s warranty will give you the highest chance of receiving proper compensation.

Common Honda Lemon Law Defects
Transmission failure.
Honda Civics and Accords have sometimes been reported as having abrupt transmission failures, which can be extremely dangerous on the open road.
Faulty airbags.
The Honda Accord, Pilot, Odyssey, Fit, and Ridgeline models have received some complaints of airbags that didn’t inflate during crashes. This safety issue, if irreparable, could qualify your vehicle as a lemon.
Broken power steering hose.
In some Hondas, a broken power steering hose can drop fluid on the catalytic converter, creating smoke that could lead to a vehicle fire.
Honda Recalls
General Airbag Recall
The weight sensors in several 2020-2022 Honda models are susceptible to short-circuiting, which has resulted in airbags deploying unnecessarily. This unintentional deployment can cause serious injury.
General Fuel Pump Recall
The fuel pumps in several 2017-2020 Honda models have been known to fail. This failure can cause an engine to stall, which is highly dangerous on the open road.
2022-2024 Honda Civic
The electric steering racks on some 2022-2024 Civics have been improperly installed. This issue can result in excessive tire wear, leading to a higher risk of crashes.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim Against Honda?
In California, you have four years to file a Lemon Law claim. But the sooner you file, the better. The best chances for receiving compensation occur within the first 18 months/18,000 miles of your car’s warranty.
The statute of limitations typically starts at the end of the written new car warranty. If your vehicle exhibits signs of being irreparable before then, be sure to seek legal advice and file a claim.
Do California Lemon Laws Apply to Used and Leased Cars?
Yes, used and leased cars are subject to California’s Lemon Laws, but compensation for a used/leased lemon is different than it is for a new lemon. If your vehicle is a lease, you can expect to be compensated for the amount you’ve already paid, and the dealer or manufacturer will buy out the remainder of the lease agreement. As long as your vehicle is still under warranty, you may be eligible for compensation.
