Dodge Lemon FAQs
Find answers to common questions about Dodge lemon issues.
The California Lemon Law (Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act) protects consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles that cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts. If your car qualifies as a lemon, you may be entitled to a refund, replacement, or cash compensation.
Your Dodge may qualify as a lemon if: 1) The defect is substantial and affects safety, value, or use, 2) The Dodge dealership has had a reasonable number of repair attempts, 3) The issue is covered under the original Dodge warranty
California law does not specify an exact number, but generally: At least two repairs for serious safety defects (like brake or airbag failures), Four or more repair attempts for the same issue, or if the Dodge has been in the shop for 30+ days (cumulative).
Yes, as long as the car was sold or leased with a Dodge warranty and meets California's Lemon Law requirements.
Most cases settle within a few months, but timelines vary based on the manufacturer’s response and whether litigation is necessary.
Some modifications (e.g., custom wheels, tint, or stereo) do not void Lemon Law coverage. However, performance modifications (like engine tuning) may impact eligibility.
It depends. Dodge may lowball offers or exclude certain costs. An attorney can ensure you get full compensation.
You may still qualify if the first repair attempt for the defect occurred while your Dodge was under warranty.
