If you are eligible to pursue a lemon law claim against a defective vehicle manufacturer, your claim must unfold under a certain timeline.
What is the California Lemon Law Statute of Limitations?
Generally, the California Lemon Law imposes a four-year statute of limitations — or legal deadline — to file a claim when the owner has experienced warrantable problems with their vehicle.
The four-year limit typically starts when the consumer initially experiences the potential defect that is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
The more critical factor in pursuing a successful lemon law claim is that you can prove you allowed the manufacturer the mandated number of reasonable attempts to have the defect repaired during the warranty period and that a mechanic could not fix the problem.

Before we can get started:
- Have you purchased or leased a new or used car from a dealer in California?
- Is your vehicle still under the manufacturer’s warranty?
- Does your vehicle’s problem impact its use, value, or safety?
- Have you given the dealer multiple attempts to repair the vehicle, but the problem still exists?
