California Lemon Law
Do
I
own a Lemon in California?
California
has one of the toughest auto "lemon" laws in the country.
However, if our firm's caseload is any indication,
California consumers continue to have trouble persuading
auto manufacturers and dealers to replace or buy back
defective vehicles that appear to qualify for such treatment
under the terms of the law. Usually our clients come to us
after a few futile attempts to resolve the problem on their
own.
If you
are experiencing warranty problems with your vehicle, or
other consumer product, we may be able to help you at a cost
you can afford. Don't be the judge of the merit of your
case! All too often consumers are misled by attorneys who
are not well versed in the law of consumer protection and
are, unfortunately, told that they don't have a case when in
fact they do! Don't give up, or accept peanuts in
settlement, until you have taken advantage of a free
consultation by an experienced Lemon Lawyer!
The
California and Federal Lemon Law
The
Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and the federal
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act cover more than just new and
warranted automobiles, trucks and motor homes. These state
and federal laws cover any warranted "consumer product"
including airplanes, boats, jet skis, and manufactured
housing. While less expensive consumer products are also
covered by these laws, the cost of a product should be more
than $5,000 before one considers hiring an attorney.
Otherwise, you can always attempt to obtain relief in small
claims court under these laws.
The
Lemon Law provisions of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty
Act and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act are designed
to protect consumers who purchase or lease new motor
vehicles covered by express warranties. If it is determined
that a motor vehicle is a Lemon, the motor vehicle's
warrantor must replace or repurchase the motor vehicle from
the buyer. Some conditions for qualification as a Lemon are
discussed below. For additional information about Lemon Law,
see our list of
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
