California Lemon Law
In Brief
You do not have to put up with a lemon car, truck, motor home, motorcycle or other major consumer product. Under the Song Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (the law that includes the so called California Lemon Law), once you have given the manufacturer or its authorized dealerships a "reasonable" number of tries to fix the vehicle or other product, you are entitled to a return of your purchase price or for the manufacturer to replace the product, to repayment of any other losses that result from the problem product, and for payment of your reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses.
Lemon Law Myths
There is a great deal of misleading or false information circulating about supposed requirements for what is a lemon vehicle. For instance, although many auto manufacturers, dealers and even governmental publications claim or hint that a consumer has no claim if:- the vehicle has not had four or more warranty repairs; or
- the vehicle has not been worked on for 30 or more days in total; or
- the consumer has not first gone through the manufacturer's "arbitration" program (where you usually have to fight without a lawyer to help you); or
- (my favorite myth) a dealer or manufacturer's representative tells you that you "do not qualify" under the law
NONE OF THIS IS TRUE
Although the law does require that the manufacturer or its dealers must first be given a "reasonable" number of repair chances, most valid cases do not involve some or any of those false "requirements." I speak to potential clients almost every day. Based upon the particular facts of their cases, I help them make an informed decision about why they should pursue a claim, or why not. I have always believed that this sort of straight talk is what most people want to hear from the start. I will be happy to speak to you - there is no charge for this.
