At Shainfeld Law, P.C., our California lemon law attorney knows there is a lot of confusion surrounding which vehicles — including specific makes or models — qualify for a California Lemon Law claim.

Here is what California consumers need to know about their vehicles qualifying for protection under the California Lemon Law. The law is designed to provide legal remedies to consumers who have purchased or leased defective vehicles — no matter their make or model.

No Matter the Make or Model, The Vehicle Must Have a Defect

The vehicle must have a substantial defect or non-conformity that impairs its use, value, or safety. This defect can be related to the vehicle’s safety, performance, or reliability.

The Defect Must Occur During the Warranty Period

The defect must occur while the manufacturer’s original warranty covers the vehicle. This typically includes both new and used vehicles that are still within the warranty period.

The Manufacturer Must Be Notified

You must give the manufacturer (or its authorized dealer) a reasonable opportunity to repair the defect. This typically involves providing written notice of the defect and allowing the manufacturer to attempt repairs.

Repetitive Repair Attempts That Were Unsuccessful

The manufacturer or authorized dealer has professionally addressed a defect that cannot be fixed after a reasonable number of attempts.

The Manufacturer’s Responsibility

Your vehicle manufacturer – no matter which company manufactured the vehicle – has the responsibility to honor your entire warranty. If the defect remains after the final repair attempt or the manufacturer fails to address the issue within a reasonable time, the vehicle may be considered a lemon.

Once a vehicle meets these criteria, it may qualify as a lemon under the California Lemon Law, and you may be entitled to a legal remedy that fits your needs.
