San Diego, California Lemon Law Attorneys
Consumers in Bakersfield rely on their vehicles every day. When a manufacturer sells a vehicle with recurring defects that substantially impair its use, value, or safety, the California Lemon Law provides important protections for consumers.
Under the California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, commonly referred to as California’s Lemon Law, consumers may be entitled to remedies when a vehicle cannot be repaired within a reasonable number of warranty repair opportunities.
Potential remedies under the California Lemon Law may include:
- Repurchase or replacement of the defective vehicle
- Reimbursement of incidental and consequential expenses, including towing, rental car, and related costs
- Civil penalties of up to two times the consumer’s actual damages in qualifying cases
- Recovery of attorney’s fees and costs
These remedies may be available for qualifying new, used, certified pre-owned, and leased vehicles that experience warranty-related defects.
How Do I Know If My Vehicle May Qualify Under the California Lemon Law?
The California Lemon Law may apply to qualifying new, used, certified pre-owned, and leased vehicles that continue to experience warranty-related defects. In many cases, a vehicle may qualify when the manufacturer or authorized repair facility has been unable to repair a substantial defect within a reasonable number of repair opportunities.
Factors commonly considered in evaluating a potential lemon law claim include:
- The vehicle has a defect covered by the manufacturer’s warranty that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety
- The manufacturer or authorized dealership has been given a reasonable opportunity to repair the issue
- The defect continues to exist despite repeat repair attempts
- The vehicle has been out of service for a significant number of days for warranty-related repairs
- The issues were not caused by unauthorized modifications, misuse, or neglect
Every case is different, and eligibility depends on the specific facts, repair history, and applicable law. If your vehicle continues to experience recurring problems, our firm can review your repair history and help determine whether you may have rights under the California Lemon Law.

Lemon Law 101
Simply put, lemon laws exist in states across the nation in order to protect consumers from being stuck with vehicles that don’t perform as they are supposed to. If you find that your vehicle is giving you issues that the manufacturer cannot repair, while still under warranty, then you might be eligible to receive some sort of compensation.
Is my Vehicle a Lemon?
The best way to determine if you have a viable lemon law case is to contact one of our Lemon Law Experts. They will be able to assist you in breaking down the facts of your situation and determining the best course of action. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Because each state has its own set of lemon laws, it’s hard to give one comprehensive set of guidelines that determine if you have a lemon or not. However, in most states, there are three basic rules that apply to a lemon vehicle. First, it must be covered by a manufacturer warranty. Second, the issue or defect must be “substantial” and must have started occurring within a certain timeframe or before a certain number of miles after you bought or leased the vehicle. Third, the manufacturer must have a “reasonable” opportunity to fix the stated issues before you can open a claim. Usually two chances to fix the car are considered a “reasonable” opportunity, but that isn’t always the case.
