What is the California Lemon Law?

California Lemon Law (officially titled the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act; California Civil Code §§ 1790 et seq.) was enacted to protect consumers who purchase or lease a vehicle with a warranty. The lemon law requires that a vehicle’s warrantor repurchase or replace the vehicle if it cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts; it 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 the balance of your loan or lease. Whether you choose a repurchase or replacement, you are entitled to recover all of the taxes and licensing costs you’ve incurred, as well as other expenses like towing costs, rental car costs, and related repair fees.

California’s Lemon Law applies to cars, trucks, and to all other 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 required to qualify for protection under California’s Lemon Law is that the vehicle you purchased was sold 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.

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

Even if your vehicle’s warranty has since expired, your vehicle may still qualify so long as the defect first occurred while the vehicle was under its warranty. A quick call to one of our experienced Lemon Law lawyers 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 began within the first eighteen 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 (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.

The lemon law "presumption" provision is neither a requirement nor a prerequisite to file a claim in the Bakersfield area. There are numerous cases 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.

A typical lemon law case can take between thirty to forty-five days to settle, with ninety-eight percent of all civil cases settling before going to trial.

Important information regarding your Bakersfield Lemon Law claim

Set squarely between Fresno and Los Angeles in the San Joaquin Valley, Bakersfield is home to nearly 350,000 Californians and many diverse industries—from agriculture to oil. Bakersfield is also part of Kern County, one California’s largest counties. Because of its location between two major Californian metropolitan areas, and its widespread geography, it’s essential that the residents of Bakersfield have working vehicles to commute in and out of the area. With numerous dealerships selling and leasing vehicles in Bakersfield—like Carmax, Three-Way Chevrolet, Motor City Auto Center, Bakersfield Chrysler Jeep, Wright Toyota/Scion, Burke Ford, and many others—and with hundreds of thousands of residents relying on their personal vehicles, unfortunately it is not uncommon for lemon law claims to be filed here. Our attorneys fight for the rights of consumers, so that no Bakersfield resident has to suffer from being dealt a lemon.

The Law Offices of Robert Mobasseri have successfully settled many cases in the Bakersfield area and are at the top of their field. If you have purchased a lemon vehicle or attempted to have one repaired in the Bakersfield area, it's time to talk to a Bakersfield lemon law attorney at the Law Offices of Robert Mobasseri.
