What Evidence is Required to Prove a Lemon Law Claim in California?
Our California Lemon Law is far-reaching and puts the best interests of the consumer first.
At Shainfeld Law, our San Diego lemon law attorney believes in using our laws to better the lives of our California residents, so they are not stuck with driving a potentially dangerous vehicle.
If your vehicle is under a manufacturer’s warranty and is exhibiting any of the following issues, you may have a legitimate lemon law claim.
That includes:
- The vehicle issue(s) impairs its use, safety, or value
- The vehicle has a faulty defect(s)
- After multiple repair attempts by the manufacturer or dealership the vehicle cannot be repaired
Contact our experienced San Diego lemon law attorneys to discuss your vehicle, the type of trouble you are experiencing, and your repair history today — before your warranty expires.
Vehicles that were purchased without a warranty — or had their warranties expire — cannot pursue a Lemon Law claim in California.
How Many Repairs Does It Take for a Vehicle to Qualify as a Lemon in California?
Not all repairs or part replacement needs qualify a car, truck, or SUV as a lemon in California.
The California Lemon Law Presumption requires the qualifying number of repairs attempts as when:
- The vehicle has been in the service location for more than 30 non-consecutive days total for warranty-covered issues and repairs
- It has not been repaired by the dealer/manufacturer after at least two attempts when the defective vehicle could cause serious bodily injury or death when driven
- The dealer/manufacturer has not fixed the same problem after four or more attempts
If you have been experiencing the same trouble with your vehicle, and the trips to the dealership or certified mechanic are becoming longer and more frequent, contact our skilled lemon law attorney in San Diego today to discuss your case, so you can learn more about your legal options.

That may include:
