Key Takeaways
If your new or used vehicle in Orange County keeps failing under warranty after a fair number of repair attempts, California's lemon law can force the manufacturer to buy it back, replace it, or pay you cash. You owe nothing in attorney fees unless your case wins.
Orange County drivers whose new, used, or certified pre-owned vehicle has a warranty-covered defect the dealer cannot fix.
about 4 attempts for a recurring defect, as few as 2 for a serious safety problem, or 30 or more cumulative days out of service.
a buyback (refund of payments and most fees), a comparable replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement that lets you keep the car.
no fee unless you win, because the Song-Beverly Act makes the manufacturer cover your attorney fees.
after the 2024 Rodriguez v. FCA ruling, a used vehicle sold with the balance of a factory warranty generally no longer qualifies for a buyback or replacement, but a certified pre-owned car with its own new warranty may still qualify, and many used-car owners can recover damages and attorney fees across Anaheim, Irvine, and Santa Ana.
Your case is handled by California-licensed attorneys Michael Saeedian (State Bar #265470) and Arash Khorsandi (State Bar #249405), who focus on Song-Beverly warranty claims from Anaheim and Santa Ana to the coast.

Standing up for Orange County drivers under California's lemon law.
California's Lemon Law protects you when a vehicle keeps breaking down under warranty, and recent court decisions changed how used-car claims work.
The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act is the law behind every Orange County lemon claim. It says that once you give a manufacturer a fair chance to repair a covered defect and the problem keeps coming back, you are owed a remedy. That remedy is usually a buyback (a refund of your down payment, monthly payments, and most fees), a comparable replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement that lets you keep the car.
Used-car claims work differently after the California Supreme Court's 2024 decision in Rodriguez v. FCA. A used vehicle sold with only the remaining balance of the manufacturer's warranty generally no longer qualifies for a buyback or replacement, though a certified pre-owned car sold with its own new warranty can still qualify. If you bought a used car in Santa Ana or leased a new SUV in Irvine, the remedy depends on the type of warranty that came with it. Even where a refund or replacement is off the table, used-car owners can often still recover money damages and attorney fees, so we review each used-car claim to see which remedies apply.
Most Orange County claims never see a courtroom. Between 2018 and 2021, fewer than one in two hundred lemon cases went to trial. Manufacturers settle because the law makes them cover your attorney fees when you win, so the math rarely favors a long fight. When a case does need to be filed, it goes through the Orange County Superior Court, with the matter handled at the justice center closest to where you live. Some automakers also push owners toward arbitration through programs such as BBB AUTO LINE before a formal claim, a step we routinely handle for clients across the county.
A few clear conditions decide whether your car, truck, or SUV is covered.
Figuring out whether your vehicle qualifies is the part most people get stuck on. Under California law, a covered claim generally meets these conditions:
Coverage extends to most mechanical, electrical, and safety defects that surface during the warranty period. What it does not cover is ordinary wear and tear, damage from an accident, or failures caused by aftermarket parts you installed, those can void a claim. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act backs up these protections alongside California's own statute. If you are unsure where your situation falls, a free case review will sort it out fast.
Acting early protects your evidence and your leverage.
The strength of a lemon case usually comes down to documentation, so the order you do things in matters. Here is the path we walk Orange County clients through:
We have brought claims against nearly every major automaker, Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, Volkswagen, Tesla, BMW, and more. Manufacturers tend to recycle the same defenses: calling the defect "normal," blaming your driving habits, pointing to repairs without ever delivering a permanent fix, or dragging out the process with paperwork requests. We know these tactics from cases involving Orange County dealerships and service centers, and we answer them with the repair record in hand.
This county runs on cars, which is exactly why a defective one upends daily life here.
Orange County was built around driving. The freeways tie together a wide spread of communities, from the coast at Huntington Beach and Newport Beach to the inland centers of Anaheim, Santa Ana, and Mission Viejo, and getting between them on transit alone is slow going. Buses and Metrolink cover part of the map, but not the whole of it, and schedules rarely match the way people actually move through their week.
That is what makes an unreliable car more than an inconvenience here. A truck stuck at the dealer in Costa Mesa can cost you work hours. A commute that should take 25 minutes turns into a logistics problem. Families lean on ridesharing to fill the gap, and those fares add up quickly when the car you paid for sits in a service bay. The Song-Beverly Act exists for exactly this reason, you should not carry the cost of a manufacturer's defect.
