Do I Qualify For The California Lemon Law?
1. Hi. I'm California lemon law attorney Kurt Delsack. We've protected California lemon law clients since 1987. Since then we've recovered millions of dollars for thousands of clients.
2. One of the most frequent questions I’m asked is “How do I know if my car qualifies for the California lemon laws?” The California lemon laws provide solutions for California consumers who have repeated problems related to the safety, value, or use of their vehicle.
3. The California lemon law applies to all new vehicles, whether purchased or leased, for personal and most small business use.
4. Used vehicles are also covered if the vehicle was purchased while the manufacturer’s original, new car warranty was still in effect.
5. A consumer must allow the manufacturer a reasonable number of repair attempts. A reasonable number is four repair attempts for the same or similar problem; or only two times if it is likely to cause serious bodily injury; or if the vehicle has been out of service, in the hands of an authorized dealer, for more than 30 days during the first 18 months or 18,000 miles; AND is still not repaired.
6. But these are not absolute requirements for our lemon law offices to file a demand for repurchase on your behalf. There are many situations which do not meet these guidelines but which may still entitle you to the lemon law protections.
7. To sum up, so long as the manufacturing defect affects safety, value, or use; first occurred within the new car warranty period; and cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of repair attempts, then you may be entitled to the lemon law protections.
8. You should also know that you do not need to first go through arbitration to pursue a California lemon law claim. In fact, going through arbitration may be very dangerous for your case.
