What is the California Lemon Law?
California Lemon Law (officially titled the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act; California Civil Code §§ 1790 et seq.) was established to protect consumers purchasing or leasing a vehicle with a warranty. The lemon law requires that a vehicle’s warrantor replace or repurchase the vehicle if it cannot 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 repay 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 are entitled to recover all the taxes and licensing costs you have paid, as well as any other expenses like rental costs, towing costs, and related repair fees.
California’s Lemon Law applies not only to 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 also covers new and used vehicles both purchased and leased.
Does my vehicle qualify as a lemon?
All that is required for protection under California’s Lemon Law is that the vehicle you purchased was sold with any kind of warranty (even a simple 30 day/1,000 mile warranty) and that any defects that started or presented within that warranty period were not repaired within a reasonable number of attempts.
A common misconception about 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 actuality, the lemon law applies to any improperly repaired vehicle that was sold with a warranty, regardless of the vehicle’s mileage or age.
Even if your vehicle’s warranty has already expired, it may still qualify as long as the defect first occurred while the vehicle was under a warranty. A call to one of our qualified Lemon Law lawyers can help you determine if your vehicle is a “lemon”, and what legal options are available to you.
If the problems with your vehicle began within 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 a 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.
Be aware that the lemon law "presumption" is neither a requirement nor a prerequisite to file a lemon law claim in Van Nuys. There are many situations that do not meet the "presumption" provision of California’s lemon law 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 (sailboat, motorboat, jet-ski, etc.) was covered by a warranty and its defects were unable to be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, then it is covered under California’s lemon laws.
The lemon laws that protect consumers extend beyond personal vehicles like cars or trucks. If your boat or other watercraft did not perform as it should under its given warranty, then you may qualify for a refund, replacement, and related damages. Even if your warranty has since expired, if your boat’s initial problem occurred during the active warranty period, then you have a case.
