The California Lemon Law was written with consumers in mind and is designed to hold auto manufacturers to certain quality standards – specifically concerning defective vehicles. The law states that vehicles with ongoing issues that negatively impact safety, value, or functionality may be labeled a “lemon.” Suppose you have a lemon that continues to have problems even after you have had it repaired a reasonable number of times. In that case, you may qualify for a replacement vehicle or refund under the Lemon Law in Long Beach.

In Long Beach, new and used vehicles that meet the lemon law requirements for persistent and significant defects may be covered. This typically includes vehicles under the manufacturer warranty and those that have had issues over the past 18 months/18,000 miles (assuming the initial defects and repair attempts took place within the warranty period).
