What is a “lemon” car?

Though its definition can vary from state to state, a lemon is typically a vehicle with serious manufacturing defects that affects its safety, value, or use. A wide range of vehicle problems are covered under the California lemon law including but not limited to:

• Airbag light illumination
• Radio and Infotainment system malfunctions
• Automatic Braking System errors
• Electrical system problems
• Check engine light illumination
• Engine stalling or misfire
• Fluid leaks
• Jerking, shaking or slipping
• Shifting issues
• Sluggish or sudden acceleration
• Strange odors

Lemon Law issues are those that affect most vehicle components such as the transmission, engine, or electrical system. To receive the best results for your claim, you will have to demonstrate that you have presented your vehicle for warranty repairs for the same or similar issue repeatedly during the warranty.

What constitutes a reasonable number of repair attempts depends on the severity of the issue at hand.  For example, two or more repairs for a severe safety defect that can cause injury or death may suffice where more repair presentations may be needed for non-substantial safety defects such as the radio not working. Each case is unique based on its own set of facts and results vary depending on each particular situation.

When you file a lemon law claim, you are taking legal action against the auto manufacturer for failing to fix your vehicle within a reasonable number of repair attempts. California Lemon Law requires the manufacturer to repurchase or replace the vehicle if it cannot be repaired after a reasonably number of repair attempts. If you end up owning or leasing a lemon, the California Lemon Law offers legal protection and remedies to get you of the lemon vehicle and reimburse you for the money you spent on your lemon.

How do I know if my car is a lemon?

Your car may be a lemon if you have taken it in for multiple repairs during its warranty period for the same or similar problem. The California Lemon Law has a presumption that assumes a vehicle is a lemon  if certain scenarios occur during the first 18 months or 18,000 miles after purchasing or leasing the vehicle, which are:

• The vehicle is repaired at least two times for a serious safety defect that can result in sever bodily injury or death; or
• The vehicle is repaired at least four times for a non-substantial safety defect.

Not all vehicles that qualify for lemon law relief meet the exact specifications outlined in the lemon law legal presumption. This is why the best and most certain way to know that you have leased or purchased a lemon is by consulting with a lemon law attorney who can review your situation to see if you qualify for relief under the law. If your case does qualify, you could receive compensation in the form of a replacement vehicle, cash, or a lemon law refund.

 What is a lemon law refund?

A lemon law refund (also known as a lemon law buyback or repurchase) is the most common and ideal outcome in a lemon law case. In a lemon law refund, the auto manufacturer agrees to “repurchase” your lemon and compensate you for the damages you as a result of owning or leasing a lemon. A lemon law refund will reimburse you for the following:

• Down payment
• Monthly payments
• Loan balance payoff
• Rental car fees
• Towing fees
• Attorney fees and costs

Other lemon law legal remedies include a replacement vehicle or cash compensation. If you receive a replacement vehicle it will be a vehicle that is substantially similar to the lemon. If you receive cash compensation, it will serve as a reimbursement for the decreased value of your vehicle as a result of the manufacturing defects.

What can I do if a dealer sold me a bad car?

• Step 1: Take Your Vehicle in for Repairs
• Step 2: Make Sure the Repair Orders Accurately Reflect Your Concerns
• Step 3: Keep Copies of All Your Documents
• Step 4: Speak with an Experienced Lemon Law Attorney

If you begin to experience problems with your vehicle after leasing or purchasing it, make sure to take it in for repairs and that the repair orders accurately reflect the issues you are experiencing with your vehicle.  Stay organized and get copies of all of your repair orders.  If you find yourself repeatedly in the repair shop for the same or similar issue, you should contact an experienced lemon law attorney who can assess your claim.

How much does it cost to hire a lemon law attorney?

Hiring a lemon law attorney should not cost you anything.  As the prevailing party, the California Lemon Law requires the defendant to pay your reasonable attorneys fees and costs.  This is what makes pursuing a lemon law claim an easy and right decision.

Many lemon law attorneys in California work on a contingency basis, meaning that they are not paid unless they win your case. When your legal team works on a contingency basis, you can feel confident and secure in the fact that they will work extremely hard to win your case and maximize your outcome.
