What is the California Lemon Law?

California Lemon Law (titled the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act; California Civil Code §§ 1790 et seq.) was created to protect consumers who purchase or lease a warrantied vehicle. California’s lemon law requires that a vehicle’s warrantor repurchase or replace the vehicle if it can’t be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts and is determined to be a “lemon.”

If you choose to have your vehicle repurchased, the warrantor is required to reimburse your down payment, monthly payments, and pay off the balance of your loan or lease. Regardless of whether you choose a repurchase or replacement, you’re entitled to recover all the taxes and licensing costs you’ve paid, as well as other expenses like towing costs, rental car costs, and related repair fees.

California’s Lemon Law applies not only to personal vehicles like cars and trucks, but also to all warrantied consumer goods including motorcycles, RVs, motorhomes, boats, other watercraft, and all other consumer items. California Lemon Law covers new and used vehicles, both purchased and leased.

Does my vehicle qualify as a lemon?

All that’s needed to qualify for protection under California’s Lemon Law is that the vehicle you purchased or leased was had with any kind of warranty (even a basic 30 day/1,000 mile warranty), and that any problems that started within that warranty period were not repaired within a reasonable number of attempts.

Unfortunately, a common mistake people make regarding California’s lemon law is assuming that it only protects vehicles that are less than 18 months old, or have been driven less than 18,000 miles. In fact, the lemon law applies to any improperly repaired vehicle that was sold with a warranty, regardless of age or mileage.

Even if a vehicle’s warranty has expired, it may still be protected by the lemon law so long as the defect first occurred while the vehicle was under a warranty. A simple call to one of our experienced Lemon Law attorneys can help you establish if your vehicle is a “lemon” and what legal options are available to you.

If the problems with your vehicle did, however, begin within the first eighteen months and/or 18,000 miles of your vehicle’s warranty (called the “presumption” period), then you could qualify for additional lemon law protections. These additional protections presume that your vehicle is a lemon. Typically you, the consumer, would’ve had to prove your vehicle is a lemon to win a case, but when your vehicle meets the presumption requirements, it becomes the warrantor’s (often the manufacturer’s) burden to prove that your vehicle is not a lemon. Think of it as the warrantor is presumed guilty until proven innocent.

Be aware that the lemon law’s "presumption" provision is neither a requirement nor a prerequisite to file a lemon law claim in Costa Mesa. There are many situations that do not meet the "presumption" standard, but still qualify your vehicle as a lemon under California consumer protection statutes.

Does my boat/watercraft qualify as a lemon?

As long as your boat or watercraft was protected by a warranty and its problems were unable to be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, then it is protected by California’s lemon law.

The lemon laws that protect consumers don’t just extend to personal vehicles like cars or trucks. If your boat or other watercraft vehicle did not operate as it was supposed to under its provided warranty, then you most likely qualify for a refund, replacement, and related damages. Even if your warranty has expired, if your boat’s initial problem occurred during the warranty period, then it is highly likely that you have a case.
