What is a Lemon Exactly?

Lemons are vehicles with significant, warranty-covered defects that the manufacturer doesn’t fix in a reasonable amount of time or after a reasonable number of attempts. The specifics of lemon laws vary from state to state. But, the principal purpose remains the same: protecting consumers from defective products. 

Fortunately, California provides some of the most comprehensive protections available anywhere in the country. Keep reading to learn more about the features of the lemon law in Sacramento.

How Does the Lemon Law in Sacramento Work?

The California Lemon Law, also known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, protects consumers who buy or lease defective vehicles in the state. Here’s how it works:

  • Qualifying Vehicles: The law covers new and some used vehicles still under the manufacturer’s warranty.
  • Reasonable Repair Attempts: If the manufacturer fails to fix a vehicle’s warrantied defect after a reasonable number of attempts, the vehicle likely qualifies as a lemon.
  • Timeframe: Generally, you must take the vehicle in for the first repair attempt within 18 months of delivery or before 18,000 miles, whichever comes first.
  • Manufacturer Obligations: If your vehicle qualifies, the manufacturer must either replace it or buy it back.
  • Legal Process: After the car company fails to fix your defect, you are eligible to pursue a claim. In all cases, we send written notice to the manufacturer to try and resolve your case. If your case is not settled after notice, in some instances we will go through arbitration to try and resolve your case. If your case is still not resolved at this stage, we will file suit in either the county where you reside or one where you purchased your vehicle. Notably, we settle approximately 99% of our cases without a trial. 
  • Attorneys Fees: If you win in court, the manufacturer must pay your legal fees. And in the unusual cases where we don’t secure compensation for our client, we don’t collect a fee.

Even if your case doesn’t qualify under the state’s lemon law, additional protections like the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act may be able to help. Remember, each case is unique. It’s best to consult with a lemon law lawyer to understand how the law applies to your specific situation.
