Additionally, the California’s Lemon Law (Civ. Code § 1793.22) protects Californians whose vehicles under warranty are defective and cannot be fixed after a “reasonable” number of repair attempts. The vehicle manufacturer must either replace or repurchase the vehicle based on the consumer’s preference.
In California, lemon law also applies to used vehicles when they are still under a manufacturer’s warranty. If you purchased a used vehicle that is no longer under warranty, it is unlikely lemon laws will apply to your case—unless you can prove that the seller knowingly mislead or forced you into purchasing a defective vehicle.
If you have purchased a vehicle you believe may be a lemon, we recommend doing the following as soon as possible:
From there, we will handle the filing of your lemon law claim which includes contacting the manufacturer, negotiating a settlement, and taking them to trial if they refuse to comply. Our Los Angeles lawyers are experienced litigators who are willing to go up against even the largest vehicle manufacturers on your behalf.

Your vehicle qualifies if it is under warranty and has a defect that your dealership has been unable to repair. The law only applies if the dealership has been given an ample number of chances (2 or more) to repair your vehicle within the warranty period.
Under California’s Lemon Law (Civ. Code, § 1793.2 et seq.), you are protected if your car is defective and can’t be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts.
The Lemon Law protects cars bought or leased in California that are still covered by a manufacturer’s vehicle warranty. Under the Lemon Law, if a manufacturer is unable to repair a problem after a reasonable (again – 2 or more) number of repairs and does not meet its obligations under the warranty, it may be required to buy back or replace your car.
