FAQ

The term lemon is usually used to indicate a car still under warranty and still defective despite several attempts to fix the same issue by the manufactures. It also applies to cars whose repeated reparation has started during the warranty. To be classified as a Lemon, the issue for which reparation is required must considerably affect the value, the ability to drive it or the safety of your car

Lemon Laws are laws set to protect consumers in each state and federal government. Over a purchase of a good, the expectation is the proper functioning of the good. Warranties protect the consumers from faulty products, but sometimes the product only needs a repair. When the reparation of the same part occurs repeatedly, the stress level and the investment required to increase substantially. Lemon Laws are there to offer consumers the solution for such situations. California is one of the states where Lemon Laws are the most supportive for customers.


In a successful Lemon Law claim, you might be refunded in cash, with a rebuy of the same car from the manufacturer or the purchase of your car as a settlement.

California Lemon Law, called the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies to all consumer products with a warranty, while Magnuson-Moss Federal Warranty Act (or Federal Lemon Law) applies to all goods with a written warranty, such a car. But it is not limited to cars; every kind of vehicle is covered by such law, such as SUVs, trucks, boats, motorcycles, as long as there is a written warranty related to the purchase.

The good news is yes, California Lemon Law applies to any vehicle with a written warranty whether new, user or leased. Usually, a warranty from the manufacturer is effective for 3 years or 36000 miles after purchase. If you purchased a used car, there might be an option for a warranty. Certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles might also have a warranty included with them.
