Imagine: You just purchased a new car. After a few scant months, the seams start showing. New functions and features begin to act up as though worn or aged. The engine stalls unexpectedly, or the brakes feel eerily off-kilter. You take it to the dealership for repairs, but the problems keep happening. After multiple visits, your patience is practically non-existent – but the issues? They’re still there.
How Does a Car Qualify for Lemon Law in California?
Under California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, otherwise known as The Lemon Law, if your vehicle’s defects significantly impact its use, value, or safety, and the dealership has been unable to fix the issue after multiple attempts, you may be entitled to a refund or replacement. To qualify, your vehicle must meet specific conditions:
- Original Manufacturer’s Warranty: Your vehicle must still be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty when problems arise.
- Significant Defect: The defect must impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety.
- Multiple Repair Attempts: You’ve taken the car in for the same issue several times, or it’s been out of service for a substantial amount of time.
- Personal or Small Business Use: The vehicle is used for personal, family, or small business purposes.
- No Owner Abuse Exists: The defect cannot result from neglect, unauthorized modifications, or owner abuse.
