California Lemon Law & Auto Fraud Rights

California’s Lemon Law can apply when a vehicle has a substantial defect that persists after reasonable repair attempts, or when repair time meaningfully deprives the owner of use. Even when a problem is intermittent, service records showing repeat complaints and return visits can be important.

California Lemon Law – Common Questions

How many repairs are “enough” in California?

There’s no single number. A pattern of repeat attempts for the same defect—or a defect that materially affects use, value, or safety—can qualify.

Does it matter that the issue is intermittent?

No. Intermittent defects can still qualify, but consistent documentation (same complaint, same symptoms, repeat visits) becomes especially important.

Does my city matter?

No. California Lemon Law protections apply statewide; Northridge is simply where the service visits occurred.

What should I gather for a free case review?

Repair orders/invoices, any warranty paperwork, and a short timeline of when the issue started and whether it affected safety or drivability.

Next Steps

If warning lights (especially brake/ABS-related warnings) keep returning, do not wait—deadlines can apply under California law. A short review of your repair orders can clarify whether the pattern supports a Lemon Law claim.
