Stand Up for Your Rights

Santa Monica Lemon Law Attorney

Do you own or lease a vehicle in Santa Monica that has recurring defects or mechanical issues? If your vehicle has required repeated repairs for the same problem or has been out of service for an extended period, you may have legal rights under California’s Lemon Law. At CA Lemon Law Firm, we are dedicated to helping Santa Monica residents get the justice they deserve when dealing with defective vehicles.

What is California Lemon Law?

California Lemon Law, formally known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, is designed to protect consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles. If a manufacturer or authorized repair facility cannot fix a substantial defect after a reasonable number of attempts, the law allows you to pursue compensation, including:

  • A full refund of your purchase price, including taxes, fees, and finance charges.
  • A replacement vehicle of equal value.
  • Cash compensation for the reduced value of the defective vehicle.

This law applies to new and certified pre-owned used vehicles that are still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, including:

  • Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans.
  • Motorcycles.
  • RVs and motorhomes.
  • Commercial vehicles (under certain weight limits).

If your vehicle’s defects impact its safety, functionality, or value, you may qualify for protection under California Lemon Law.

How Do I Know If I Have a Lemon?

Your vehicle may be considered a “lemon” if:

  1. It has a defect covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
  2. The defect substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety.
  3. The manufacturer or dealer has made multiple attempts to repair the issue without success.
  4. The vehicle has spent a significant amount of time out of service due to repairs (typically 30 days or more).

Examples of common defects include engine or transmission issues, braking system failures, electrical malfunctions, or airbag problems.
