Lemon Law

Lemon Laws are American state laws that provide a remedy for purchasers of cars that repeatedly fail to meet standards of quality and performance. These cars are called lemons. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects citizens of all states. State lemon laws vary by state and may not necessarily cover used or leased cars. The rights afforded to consumers by lemon laws may exceed the warranties expressed in purchase contracts. Lemon law is the common nickname for these laws, but each state has different names for the laws and acts.

Lemon Laws in California and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provide for compensation to California consumers of defective automobiles and trucks and other vehicles and products including motorcycles, RV’s, boats, computers and other consumer appliances and products. To qualify under the California Lemon Law or the federal Lemon Law, you must generally have a product that suffered multiple repair attempts under the manufacturer’s factory warranty. Lemon Law compensation can include a refund, replacement or cash compensation.

The California Lemon Law applies to vehicles:

• In the first eighteen (18) months or first eighteen thousand (18,000) miles, after vehicle delivery
• Repaired for serious safety problem at least two (2) times
• Required repairs four (4) or more times for the same problem
• Out of service for a cumulative total of thirty (30) or more days
