What is the California Lemon Law?
California’s Lemon Laws (officially entitled the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act; California Civil Code §§ 1790 et seq.) were created to protect consumers purchasing or leasing a vehicle with a warranty. Lemon law requires that a vehicle’s warrantor repurchase or replace the vehicle if it can’t be properly repaired following a reasonable number of attempts and is then determined to be a “lemon.”
If you choose to have your vehicle repurchased, then its warrantor is required to reimburse your down payment, monthly payments, and pay off the remaining balance of your loan or lease. Whether you choose a repurchase or a replacement, you’re entitled to recover all the taxes and licensing costs you have paid, as well as any other expenses you’ve incurred, like towing costs, rental car costs, and repair fees.
California’s Lemon Law not only applies to personal vehicles like cars, trucks, and motorcycles, but to all warrantied consumer goods including 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 the California Lemon Law is that the vehicle you purchased was sold or leased with any kind of warranty (even a simple 30 day/1,000 mile warranty), and that any problem that began during that warranty period wasn’t fixed within a reasonable number of attempts.
Unfortunately, a very common misunderstanding of California’s lemon law is that it only protects vehicles that are less than 18 months old, or have been driven less than 18,000 miles. However, the lemon law applies to any improperly repaired vehicle that was sold with a warranty, regardless of the vehicle’s age or mileage.
Even if your vehicle’s warranty has already expired, it may still qualify for lemon law protection so long as its defect first occurred during the warranty period. A quick call to one of our knowledgeable Lemon Law attorneys can help you determine if your vehicle is a “lemon” as well as what legal options are available to you.
If the problems with your vehicle did begin within the first eighteen months and/or 18,000 miles of your vehicle’s warranty (called the “presumption” period), then you may qualify for additional lemon law protections. These additional protections presume that your vehicle is a lemon. Usually you, the consumer, would have to prove your vehicle is a lemon in order to win your case, but when your vehicle meets the presumption requirement, it becomes the warrantor’s burden to prove that your vehicle is not a lemon. Think of it as the warrantor is presumed guilty until proven innocent.
It’s important to note that "presumption" is neither a requirement nor a prerequisite to file a lemon law claim in Irvine. There are countless situations that do not meet the "presumption" provision of California’s lemon law, but still qualify your vehicle as a lemon.

Does my boat/watercraft qualify as a lemon?
If your boat or watercraft was covered under any warranty, even the most basic warranty, and its defects 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 should according its given warranty, then you may qualify for a refund or replacement, along with any related damages or costs you’ve incurred. Even if your warranty has since expired, if your boat’s initial defect occurred during its warranty period, then it’s very likely that you have a case.
