In California, your vehicle is presumed to be a lemon if any of the following occur within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles of purchasing or leasing your vehicle:
- 4 or more repair attempts for the same issue;
- 2 or more repair attempts to fix an issue that can cause injury or death; or
- Your vehicle is out of service for more than 30 days for any repairs.
In California, if any of these criteria are met, your vehicle is presumably a lemon and you are entitled to a refund or replacement vehicle.
