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!

Substantial Defect

Your vehicle must have a significant issue that affects its functionality, value, or overall safety.

Repair Attempts

The issue must remain unresolved even after the manufacturer or an authorized dealer has made multiple attempts to fix it.

Timing

The problem happened within the first 18 months of owning the vehicle or before reaching 18,000 miles, whichever happens first.

You May Be Entitled Too:

1) Refund
2) Vehicle Replacement
3) Cash compensation under the California Lemon Law
