How Does California Lemon Law Work?

It's Simple

California Lemon Law protects consumers who buy or lease defective vehicles, ensuring manufacturers fix, replace, or refund "lemons" that can’t be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts. Officially the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, it covers new and used cars, trucks, SUVs, and even motorcycles under warranty. Common issues like engine failure, transmission problems, or electrical defects are just a few examples that may qualify. To win a claim, the defect must substantially impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. Lion Lemon’s expert lemon law attorneys in California offer free consultations to evaluate your case so that we can help you fight for your refund or replacement today!
