Understanding the Lemon Law in Sacramento

The Lemon Law in Sacramento covers a wide range of passenger vehicles including any cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, RVs, and boats that weigh under 10,000 lbs. To qualify as a Lemon, your vehicle must have a defect that:

  • significantly impairs its safety, use, or value;
  • is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty;
  • and which the manufacturer has failed to repair after a reasonable number of attempts

In most cases, the manufacturer gets 4 attempts to fix the defect before the vehicle can be classified as a Lemon. However, if the vehicle defect is serious enough to cause death or serious injury, you only need to provide the car company with 2 chances to fix the issue.

The law also presumes vehicles to be Lemons when they’ve been out of service for repairs for a total of 30 days or more, regardless of the number of repair attempts.

In any case, if the manufacturer fails to fix the problem, you must notify them in writing about the defect, which we can do on your behalf. You then need to give the manufacturer one last chance to fix the defect. If it persists after that repair attempt, you have a Lemon and our Sacramento Lemon Law attorneys can help you move forward with your claim.

Do You Have a Lemon?

Nearly 1 in every 100 new cars is eventually deemed a Lemon. If your new vehicle has a problem that is covered by the warranty and that the manufacturer has failed to fix after multiple attempts, it should qualify as a Lemon.

Even if you bought your vehicle used, you can still file a claim for up to 4 years after the date of the first failed repair attempt. Imagine buying a used car and noticing some defect only to find out that the original owner asked the manufacturer to fix that same defect 3 years earlier. In such situations, you would still have a full year to pursue a claim.
