Under California Lemon Law, if you took your New or Used Car,
Truck, Van, RV, Motorcycle or Boat in for repair during the
manufacturer's warranty period and you gave the dealer a reasonable
number of attempts to repair the vehicle and it continues to
malfunction, you may be entitled to your money back or to a new
replacement vehicle. Under California Lemon Law, it does not matter
if you purchased or leased the vehicle. You may even qualify
under California Lemon Law if the vehicle was purchased or leased
primarily for business use. The California Lemon Law also applies
to a used vehicle if it was sold with a warranty (including a portion
of the original manufacturer's unexpired warranty). What constitutes
a reasonable number of attempts under California Lemon Law depends
on the circumstances of each case. For example, a safety related
problem may require only two attempts to be considered "reasonable"
under California Lemon Law, whereas other types of problems may
require more attempts. The problem must be one which substantially
impairs the vehicle's use, value or safety.
Under California Lemon Law, you do not need to take your
vehicle to a manufacturer-sponsored arbitration program before
you retain an attorney and make a legal claim. If you went to arbitration
and you do not like the result, you may hire an attorney to pursue
the claim for you under California Lemon Law.
