Moreno Valley Lemon Law
California’s Lemon Law protects consumers who have purchased or leased new or used vehicles that have been repeatedly serviced for the same defect. The law applies to cars, trucks, motorcycles, motorhomes, and other vehicles.
Under the law, a vehicle is considered a lemon if it has a substantial defect that cannot be repaired within a certain number of attempts. If this is the case, then the manufacturer must either replace the vehicle or provide a refund.
Additionally, consumers may be able to pursue other damages from the dealer or manufacturer, such as fraud, breach of contract, or violations of consumer protection laws.
Other guidelines for the Lemon Law may vary depending on the type of vehicle and other factors. Our experienced attorneys can help you understand your rights under California’s Lemon Law and determine if you have a valid claim.
Signs that Your Vehicle is a Lemon
If your vehicle has been serviced multiple times for the same problem, there is a chance that it may qualify as a lemon. Some of the signs that may indicate a lemon include:
- You have taken your car to the dealership or repair shop more than three times for the same problem.
- The repair shop has been unable to diagnose the issue or provide a solution.
- The repair shop has been unable to make the same repair twice.
- The defect is considered a “safety issue” or “safety hazard”.
- The defect is causing a substantial interruption in the use of the vehicle, such as frequent breakdowns.
- The defect has been present since the day you purchased or leased the vehicle.
- You have been unable to use the vehicle due to a defect.
- The manufacturer or dealership has refused to repair the vehicle or has offered an inadequate resolution.
- The vehicle has been out of commission for an extended period of time due to the defect.
- The manufacturer or dealership has made repeated repairs to the same part.
- The manufacturer or dealership has failed to honor the terms of a warranty.
- The vehicle has been serviced by the same repair shop or dealership multiple times and they still cannot resolve the issue.
- The repair shop or dealership has replaced the same part multiple times.
- You have experienced similar problems with other vehicles of the same make and model.
- You have experienced a certain “defect pattern” with your vehicle, such as only occurring after a certain number of miles.
The law requires a defect to have happened within 18 months of purchase or 18,000 miles traveled. You also have 4 years from the date of noticing the defect to bring a Lemon Law claim.
