What is the Lemon Law?

The California Lemon Law is a consumer protection law that provides relief to buyers or lessees of vehicles that are found to have defects or nonconformities that substantially impair the vehicle's value, safety, or use.

Lemon Law Process

Navigating the California lemon law process can be complex, but understanding each step can help ensure that your rights are safeguarded and that you obtain the compensation or resolution you deserve. Here is a detailed breakdown of the lemon law process in California:

Identify the Defect: To qualify under California's lemon law, the vehicle must have a significant defect that affects its safety, use, or value and must have arisen during the manufacturer's warranty period.

Attempt Repairs: The law requires that the manufacturer be given a reasonable number of attempts to repair the defect. Typically, this means:

• At least two attempts for serious safety issues that could cause injury or death (e.g., brake or steering failures).
  At least four attempts for other types of defects.
  If the vehicle is out of service for more than 30 days (not necessarily consecutive) for repair of any problems covered by the warranty.

Notify the Manufacturer: Notifying the manufacturer of the defect and the failed repair attempts is crucial. This can often be done through the dealership where you purchased or serviced your vehicle. Keep all records of communication and repair attempts.

Gather Documentation: Collect all relevant documentation to support your case. This includes:

• Purchase or lease agreement
  Repair orders and invoices
  Warranty documents
  Records of communication with the dealer or manufacturer
  Any other relevant correspondence or documentation

Seek Legal Advice: They can help you understand your rights, evaluate your case, and supply guidance on the best course of action.

File a Lemon Law Claim: We can assist in filing a formal lemon law claim with the manufacturer. This involves submitting a complaint that outlines the defect, the repair attempts, and the legal basis for your claim under the California lemon law.

Manufacturer's Response: The manufacturer will review your claim and may respond in several ways:

Negotiation and Settlement: Many lemon law cases are settled through negotiation. Your attorney will negotiate on your behalf to reach a fair settlement. This could include:

• A full refund of the purchase price minus a reasonable usage fee.
  A replacement vehicle of the same make and model.
  Monetary compensation for your troubles and legal fees.

Litigation: If all else fails, your attorney may recommend filing a lawsuit against the manufacturer. This involves taking your case to court, where a judge or jury will determine the outcome. They will represent you throughout the litigation process, presenting evidence and arguing on your behalf.
