What is the California Lemon Law?
California’s Lemon Law is designed to protect consumers who find themselves stuck with a car that doesn’t live up to basic standards of reliability and safety. Whether you bought a new or used vehicle, this law ensures that you don’t have to keep dealing with recurring repairs and can drive a car that works as it should. If your vehicle has required multiple repairs for the same issue or has been out of service for a significant amount of time, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle, a refund, or other legal remedies.
The California Lemon Law is a combination of two laws: the Tanner Consumer Protection Act and the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Together, these laws set standards that car manufacturers and dealerships must meet regarding the quality of vehicles they sell and the warranties they provide. If these standards aren’t met, these laws provide you with options and protections, including the right to hold manufacturers accountable if they can’t repair your vehicle within a reasonable time or number of attempts.
If you’re facing ongoing issues with your car, you don’t have to handle it alone—legal remedies are available, and you may be entitled to compensation or a replacement for the inconvenience and repair costs you’ve endured.

How the California Lemon Law Protects You
The CA lemon law focuses on cars that remain under the manufacturer’s new car warranty, although you may have either purchased the vehicle or leased it. If you believe that you have a lemon, you need to ensure that you have copies of any repair receipts and the issues that you have had with it. Hiring a lemon law attorney should also be a priority when dealing with a lemon.
If the car manufacturer is unable to make the vehicle usable or safe for you, you are eligible for some of the following remedies:
- Repurchase of the vehicle minus the usable value (days you were able to drive the vehicle);
- Replacement of the car, truck or SUV; or
- A cash payment that covers some or all of the above.
Defects that could be covered under the California Lemon Law, as they may substantially impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety:
- Engine and Transmission Issues
- Brake and Steering Problems
- Electrical System Defects
- Suspension and Alignment Issues
- Heating, Cooling, and Air Conditioning Malfunctions
- Fuel System Problems
- Safety Features
- Body and Structural Defects
- Airbag Defects
- Defective seat belts
- Exhaust system defects
- Navigation malfunctions
When to Hire a Lemon Lawyer in California
Vehicle manufacturers have large legal teams who have the sole goal of ensuring that litigation costs the company as little money as possible. If you have a defective car, truck or SUV, they may offer a settlement or repurchase offer that fails to take into account the hassles that you have experienced while trying to get it fixed.
If you have tried getting repairs more than once or twice for the same issue, consider speaking to a lemon law attorney in California who will help you find out if you quality for the Lemon Law in California and understands what documentation you need in terms of repair receipts and other paperwork.
