What is the California lemon law?

The California Lemon Laws (officially titled 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 a vehicle’s warrantor to repurchase or replace the vehicle if it can’t be fixed after a reasonable number of tries and is then determined to be a “lemon.”

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

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

Does my vehicle qualify as a lemon?

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

The most common misconception regarding California’s lemon law is that it only applies to vehicles that are less than eighteen months old, or have been driven fewer than 18,000 miles. In fact, the lemon law applies to any improperly repaired vehicle that sold or leased with a warranty, regardless of the vehicle’s age or mileage.

Even if a vehicle’s warranty has now expired, it may still qualify for lemon law protections so long as the defect first occurred during the vehicle’s warranty period. A simple call to one of our experienced Lemon Law lawyers can help you determine if your vehicle is a “lemon”, and what legal options are available to you.

If the problem with your vehicle started during the first 18 months and/or 18,000 miles of your vehicle’s warranty (known as the “presumption” period), then you may qualify for additional lemon law protections. These additional protections presume that your vehicle is a lemon. Normally you, the consumer, would have to prove your vehicle is a lemon to win your case, but when your vehicle meets the presumption requirements, 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 the lemon law "presumption" is neither a requirement nor a prerequisite to file a lemon law claim in Temecula. There are numerous situations that don’t meet the "presumption" provision but still qualify your vehicle as a lemon under California’s lemon law statutes.

Does my boat/watercraft qualify as a lemon?

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

The lemon laws that protect California’s consumers extend beyond personal vehicles like cars or trucks: if your boat or watercraft did not operate as it should under its provided warranty, then you qualify for a refund or replacement, as well as related damages. Even if your warranty has since expired, if your boat’s initial defect occurred during its warranty period, then you have a case.

Does my RV qualify as a lemon?

Owning/leasing and maintaining an RV is already an expensive undertaking, and sometimes it’s made more difficult when dealers or repairers don't cooperate. If you purchased or leased an RV with any kind of warranty and it has not performed as it should based on its warranty terms—even after repeated repair visits—then you may qualify for a vehicle refund or replacement, as well as related damages. If you suspect that you have a lemon, give us a call, because RVs are more than just vehicles used to get from one place to another, it’s especially important that the sale or lease of your RV was done properly and within the scope of the law.
