HOW DOES THE LEMON LAW WORK?
In California, the Lemon Law is set up so that the purchaser of a vehicle can seek a refund or replacement of their vehicle so long as the vehicle has:
- Been taken in for service on four (4) or more occasions for a defect that substantially impairs the use or value of the vehicle;
- Been taken in for service on two (2) or more occasions for a defect that is likely to cause serious injury or death; or
- Been in service for thirty (30) or more cumulative calendar days.
If any one of the above requirements is met, it creates a legal presumption that the vehicle is a lemon, and you may be entitled to one of two options, at your choice:
- A new vehicle, which is the same, or similar to the one you own and a refund for miscellaneous costs associated with the vehicle (towing, rentals, etc…);
- A complete refund, including tax, license, registration, miscellaneous costs associated with the vehicle (towing, rentals, etc…), and all the payments made on the vehicle.
Both of these are subject to a mileage offset, which is calculated according to a set formula we will be happy to explain to you. Please feel free to contact us toll-free at 888-LEMON-80 (888-536-6680), through our short Online Form, or via email at info@lemonlawpartners.com.
