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 any consumer who purchases or leases 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 and is then determined to be a “lemon.”

If you choose to have your vehicle repurchased, the warrantor is required to reimburse your down payment, monthly payments, and pay off the balance of your loan or lease. Regardless of whether you choose to have your vehicle repurchased or replaced, you are entitled to recover all of the taxes and licensing costs you’ve paid, as well as any other expenses like towing costs, rental car costs, and related repair fees.

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

Does my vehicle qualify as a lemon?

All that’s required to qualify for lemon law protection in California 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 problems that started within that warranty period were not repaired within a reasonable number of attempts.

The most common misconception about California’s lemon law is that it only applies to vehicles that are less than 18 months old, or have been driven less than 18,000 miles. However, California’s lemon law applies to all improperly repaired vehicles that were sold with warranties, regardless of age or mileage.

Even if a vehicle’s warranty has since expired, your vehicle may still qualify so long as the defect first occurred while the vehicle was under warranty. A call to one of our experienced Lemon Law attorneys can help you determine if your vehicle is a “lemon” and what legal options are available to you.

If the problems with your vehicle did, however, begin 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 (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.

Lemon law’s "presumption" is neither a requirement nor a prerequisite to file a claim in San Francisco. There are numerous instances that don’t meet the "presumption" provision of California’s lemon law, but still qualify your vehicle as a lemon under California lemon law statutes.

Does my boat/watercraft qualify as a lemon?

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

The lemon laws that protect consumers do not just extend to personal vehicles like cars or trucks. If your boat or other watercraft vehicle 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 expired, if your boat’s initial problem occurred during the warranty period, then it is highly likely that you have a case.

Important information regarding your San Francisco Lemon Law claim

As one of the largest cities in California, the United States, and known the world over, San Francisco is home to a burgeoning tech industry and to over 3.5 million residents in its metropolitan area. Like most Californians, the residents of San Francisco’s Bay Area rely heavily on their personal vehicles in their daily lives. With millions of residents in the area, plus thousands of car dealerships operating in the San Francisco area—like CarMax, Toyota, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Toyota, Scion, Ellis Brooks, Nissan Infiniti, and more—it is unfortunately no wonder that so many lemon law claims are filed here. In addition, many San Francisco Bay Area residents take advantage of the ocean’s close proximity and the numerous aquatic recreational areas nearby, ensuring that many residents are boat and watercraft owners. Just as warrantied personal vehicles, like cars and trucks, are covered under California’s lemon law, warranted boats and other watercraft are also protected by the lemon law.
