What Types of Vehicles Are Covered?

California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act covers cars, motorcycles, boats, and recreational vehicles. Both purchased and leased vehicles can qualify as lemons and entitle you to compensation. Our experienced lemon law team can help explain what damages you are entitled to in your particular case.

What Are My Legal Rights If I Have Bought or Leased a Lemon?

The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act is one of the strongest Lemon Laws in the United States. With the right legal representation, a manufacturer of a "lemon" can be required to repurchase the vehicle from you.

The manufacturer can also be required to pay for consequential damages (such as the cost of a rental car while your lemon was being repaired). Be sure to document all costs you incur because of your vehicle's defect.

These costs could include Uber and Lyft fees while your car was in the shop, or even a hotel fee if you were stuck out of town because your car broke down on you. If it can be proven that these expenses were related to your vehicle's defects, you can be reimbursed for these losses in your Lemon Law claim.

Potential Remedies Under California Lemon Law:

Receive Cash Compensation
Return Your Vehicle and Get Your Money Back
Replace Your Vehicle

What you can recover under California's Lemon Law depends on the specifics of your case, including your repair history, your warranty terms, and the losses you can document. There is no single set figure, which is why a real case review matters more than a rough estimate.

Our attorneys will review your situation and give you a straight, honest read on what relief may realistically be available, whether that is a vehicle repurchase, a replacement, or a cash settlement. That way you can make decisions based on facts, not guesswork.

What If My Warranty Has Expired?

California's Lemon Law may still protect you even after your warranty has expired. However, it is important to act quickly, as legal deadlines may limit the time you have to pursue a claim. Consult with an experienced lemon law attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Can I Still Have a Claim If the Problem Has Been Fixed?

Yes. Many consumers are surprised to learn that fixing the problem does not necessarily eliminate a Lemon Law claim. If your vehicle required repeated repair attempts for a warranty-covered defect, or spent an excessive amount of time at the dealership for repairs, you may still be entitled to relief under California's Lemon Law. Our team can review your repair records and explain your options.

What Is a Reasonable Amount of Warranty Repairs, For Me to File a Lemon Law Claim?

As of January 1, 2025, California's Lemon Law under AB 1755 introduces new deadlines, discovery rules, mandatory mediation, depositions, and $50/day penalties for delay. Beginning July 1, 2025 (delayed from April), consumers seeking civil penalties must send a 30-day written notice -- including name, VIN, defect summary, and a request for replacement or repurchase. Following notice, manufacturers have 30 days to respond and 60 days to comply.

The statute of limitations is now one year from warranty expiration (not from defect discovery) but also six years from original delivery (subject to limited tolling).

These changes do streamline some proceedings -- but the new pre-suit and procedural requirements can be easy to miss. As a result, retaining experienced lemon-law counsel is highly advisable.

What If I Cannot Afford an Attorney?

The Tanner Consumer Protection Act provides for attorney's fees at no upfront cost to you.

The experienced Lemon law attorneys at The Lemon Pros offer free consultations. We can discuss your case with no obligation, and we require no upfront fees to discuss your case at a consultation. Do not be afraid to at least consult with an experienced attorney about your potential lemon law claim.

What If My Purchase Agreement Has a Mandatory Arbitration Clause?

Over the past few decades, it has become common for auto manufacturers to include mandatory arbitration clauses in their purchase agreements and written warranties. Doing this means that the customer is contractually obligated to go through arbitration before he or she may file a claim in court. Some manufacturers try to use this process to discourage consumers from filing their valid legal claims.

You have the right to file a lemon law claim regardless of arbitration clauses in your purchase agreement.

Having an experienced lemon law attorney on your side can help ensure that clauses in your purchase or lease agreement do not prevent you from exercising your legal rights and obtaining the recovery you're entitled to.

What Can a Lemon Law Attorney Do For Me?

Lemon law attorney reviewing case documents

In general, people with civil claims (like a lemon law case) recover more money when they have an attorney than when they handle their claims on their own. An attorney knows how to prove your claim effectively and present a persuasive case to a judge or jury.

An attorney knows all the different types of compensation to which you are legally entitled. You may be entitled to more than you realize, and an honest case review makes sure nothing gets left on the table.

A lawyer will also help you consider all the many expenses that could be related to your lemon, lost wages, rental car fees, Uber receipts, and other losses. A lawyer will help you gather evidence of all the financial losses you have suffered.

Perhaps most importantly, a lemon lawyer will fight on your side. Auto manufacturers hire armies of lawyers to defend legitimate claims against them. Your lawyer will stand up to the power of a large corporation to ensure that your legal rights are protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing out of pocket. Under California's Lemon Law (the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act), the manufacturer is required to pay your attorney fees when you win. We work on a contingency basis, you pay zero upfront fees, and we only get paid when we successfully resolve your case.

If your vehicle qualifies under the California Lemon Law, you may be entitled to a full refund (repurchase) of your vehicle, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement. You may also recover consequential damages such as rental car costs, towing fees, lost wages, and more. In some cases, you may also be entitled to civil penalties up to two times your actual damages.

Yes. California's Lemon Law applies to both purchased and leased vehicles, as long as the vehicle was sold or leased with a manufacturer's warranty. If your leased vehicle has a substantial defect that can't be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you may have a valid lemon law claim.

Most lemon law cases are resolved within 3 to 6 months, though some cases may take longer depending on the manufacturer and complexity. We work efficiently to move your case forward and keep you informed at every step.

Most lemon law cases are settled before trial. However, we are trial attorneys who are fully prepared to take your case to court if the manufacturer refuses to offer fair compensation. This willingness to go to trial is one of our biggest advantages in negotiations.

California's Lemon Law may still protect you even after your warranty has expired. However, it is important to act quickly, as legal deadlines may limit the time you have to pursue a claim. Consult with an experienced lemon law attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Yes. Many consumers are surprised to learn that fixing the problem does not necessarily eliminate a Lemon Law claim. If your vehicle required repeated repair attempts for a warranty-covered defect, or spent an excessive amount of time at the dealership for repairs, you may still be entitled to relief under California's Lemon Law.
