Engine Problems: What you can do

Imagine this: You're cruising down the California coast, windows down, enjoying the sunshine. Suddenly, your car sputters, coughs, and stops completely. The engine light glares menacingly at you, and your dream drive becomes a roadside nightmare.

If this scenario involves a new or recently purchased vehicle, and the engine problems are persistent, you might have a case under California's Lemon Law.

Engine Problems and the Lemon Law

The California Lemon Law protects consumers from the burden of repeated repairs on defective vehicles. This includes serious engine problems that significantly impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety. Here are some common engine issues that could qualify your car as a lemon:

• Excessive stalling or hesitation. Your car shouldn't be a guessing game. Frequent stalling while driving or at intersections creates a dangerous situation for you and others on the road.
• Recurring overheating. A car that constantly overheats can lead to costly repairs and engine failure. Under the Lemon Law, this could be considered a qualifying defect.
• Oil leaks and excessive oil consumption. Leaks can damage other engine components, and constant oil top-ups indicate an underlying issue.
• Loss of power or acceleration problems. This can be a safety concern, especially when merging onto highways or passing other vehicles.
• Check engine light issues. While not all check engine light issues are severe, a persistent light, particularly when accompanied by other problems, could be a red flag.
