Under California Lemon Law, if you took your New
or Used Car, Truck, Van, RV, Motorcycle or
Boat in for repair during the manufacturer's
warranty period and you gave the dealer a
reasonable number of attempts to repair the
vehicle and it continues to malfunction, you may be
entitled to your money back or to a new replacement
vehicle. Under California Lemon Law, it does not
matter if you purchased or leased the
vehicle. You may even qualify under California
Lemon Law if the vehicle was purchased or leased
primarily for business use. The California Lemon
Law also applies to a used vehicle if it was sold
with a warranty (including a portion of the
original manufacturer's unexpired warranty). What
constitutes a reasonable number of attempts under
California Lemon Law depends on the circumstances
of each case. For example, a safety related problem
may require only two attempts to be considered
"reasonable" under California Lemon Law, whereas
other types of problems may require more attempts.
The problem must be one which substantially impairs
the vehicle's use, value or safety.
Under California Lemon Law, you do not need
to take your vehicle to a manufacturer-sponsored
arbitration program before you retain an
attorney and make a legal claim. If you went to
arbitration and you do not like the result, you may
hire an attorney to pursue the claim for you under
California Lemon Law.
