You may have bought a new vehicle for a number of reasons.  One of the most common reasons is dependability.  A new vehicle should mean you don't have to worry about breakdowns, mechanical problems or safety.  What if your new vehicle is giving you a headache with repeated visits to the dealer for service?  California Lemon Law protects buyers and leassees from serious warrant defects that the dealer of the manufacturer cannot repair.  In some cases, you may be a entitles to a replacement or refund for your vehicle.

         FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
 

What is a Lemon?
A vehicle that continues to have a defect that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety. Generally, if the car has been repaired 3 or more times for the same Defect within the Warranty Period and the Defect has not been fixed, the car qualifies as a Lemon.

Do I have a Lemon?
If the paint is peeling, the light switch came out when you pulled on it, the car makes "funny noises" but otherwise drives just fine, or you found 10 things you don't like about your new car but none of them prevent you from driving it, then No, you do not have a Lemon, but you might be a victim of Dealer Fraud.

If the brakes don't work, the car won't go into reverse gear, the darn thing won't start on cold mornings or hot afternoons, the rear door opens all by itself, the driver's seat wobbles, or the car chugs along at 30 mph when it should be going 50 mph, then Yes, you may have a Lemon. Providing you've given the manufacturer an opportunity to repair the defect.

In some cases, a single defect that might cause Serious Injury makes your car a Lemon if the manufacturer cannot fix the problem within 1 attempt.

You may have a Lemon, but if you do nothing to protect your Consumer Rights, such as documenting your Repairs and allowing the Manufacturer a chance to fix the problem(s), you may lose all rights under the various State Warranty Acts.

Who pays the Lawyer?
You do not need to.  Most of our services are of no cost to you.  The California law allows us to recover Attorney Fees from the manufacturer.  In dealer fraud cases, the acting dealer will cover the attorney fees when the case is won or settled.  If your Attorney sues under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, you will be awarded Attorney Fees if you win. Note that our Attorney's Fee is based upon actual time expended rather than being tied to any percentage of the recovery.

Is a Leased Car protected?
Yes, in the Sate of California includes the  leased cars in their Lemon Law statutes. The laws for used car slightly different and are handled in case-by-case bases.  Submit an inquiry with you vehicle and damage information and we will determine what is covered.

What about Motor Homes and Motorcycles?
Most States cover the drive train portion of Motor Homes (that part which is not used for dwelling purposes). Motorcycles are generally not covered but a few states do include them in their lemon law statutes.

If you have a defective Motorcycle, Motor Home, used car, leased car, or a car used for business purposes and the State Lemon Law does not cover these vehicles, you still have other recourses such as the Uniform Commercial Code and the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (providing you were given a written warranty). Submit an inquiry with you potential case information and we will determine the best course of action for you.
