Fighting For Fairness If You Purchased A Lemon

A lemon is a term for a car that has more defects or problems than the consumer knew of when purchasing it. Fortunately, the state of California has laws in place to protect buyers’ rights.

What Is The California Lemon Law?

Our state has one of the most generous lemon laws in the U.S. Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act – also called the California Lemon Law – consumers who purchased or leased new or used vehicles that were sold with an existing warranty, may have the right to a refund or replacement vehicle if their vehicle was presented for repairs more than one time under warranty and the defect substantially impairs the use, value or safety of the vehicle. The law also protects consumers of other consumer goods including, motorcycles, RVs, televisions, and other home appliances that are used primarily for personal or household use.
