What is the California Lemon Law?

California Lemon Law (officially titled the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act; California Civil Code §§ 1790 et seq.) was created to protect consumers purchasing or leasing a vehicle a warrantied vehicle. 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 determined to be a “lemon.”

If you decide to have your vehicle repurchased, the warrantor must reimburse your down payment, monthly payments, and pay off any remaining balance of your loan or lease. Whether you choose a repurchase or replacement, you’re entitled to recover the taxes and licensing costs you have paid, as well as other expenses like towing costs, rental car costs, and related repair fees.

The Lemon Laws not only apply to cars and trucks, but to all warrantied consumer goods like 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 Laws 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 problem that started during that warranty period were not fixed within a reasonable number of attempts.

A very common piece of misinformation about California’s lemon laws is that they apply only to vehicles that are less than eighteen months old, or have been driven less than 18,000 miles. Actually, the lemon laws apply to any improperly repaired vehicle that was sold with any type of warranty, regardless of the vehicle’s age or mileage.

Even if a vehicle’s warranty has already expired, your vehicle may still qualify so long as the defect first occurred while the vehicle was under a warranty. A quick call to one of our experienced 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 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 protection. These additional protections presume that your vehicle is a lemon. Typically you, the consumer, would’ve had 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’s "presumption" provision is neither a requirement nor a prerequisite to file a lemon law claim in San Jose. There are countless situations that don’t meet the "presumption" clause of the California 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 a warranty and its problems were unable to be fixed 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 Jose Lemon Law claim

Poised in the midst of Northern California’s tech industry, San Jose is home to nearly a million residents and countless industries. As one of the largest cities in California, as well as in the United States, San Jose greatly influences the culture and economy of the state, the country, and with its tech influence: the world. However, as it is for most Californians, personal vehicles play a large and critical role in the daily lives of residents and their families. And, in the Bay area, thousands of residents depend on their vehicles to allow them to commute in and around the area for work and pleasure alike. With the high population of San Jose, combined with the hundreds of car dealerships operating throughout the Bay Area—like Honda/Toyota of Stevens Creek, Premier Nissan, Courtesy Chevrolet, CarMax, and countless others—unfortunately it is no wonder that so many lemon law claims are filed here. In addition, San Jose’s close proximity to the Bay ensures that many residents may also be boat and watercraft owners. Just as warrantied personal vehicles, like cars and trucks, are covered under California’s lemon law, warrantied boats and watercraft are also protected under the lemon law. With numerous boat providers—like Voyager Marine, M&K, Orlandi, Pleasure Boat Specialties, West marine, and more—there are plenty of businesses to acquire watercraft, but unfortunately fraud can happen to anyone, and our offices aim to protect San Jose residents from suffering unjustly.
