Your Rights

Your California lemon law rights: Under California's Lemon Law (also known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act), if you take your new or used vehicle in for repairs during the manufacturer's warranty period and give the dealer a reasonable number of attempts to repair your vehicle and your vehicle is not repaired, you may be entitled to your money back or a new replacement vehicle, regardless of whether you have purchased or leased the vehicle. Many people don’t have a thorough knowledge of the California Lemon Law buyback program, the California Lemon Law facts or how the process works. What constitutes a reasonable number of attempts depends on the specific problems your vehicle is experiencing. The more serious the problem is (the more it deals with a safety issue), the lower the standard becomes. For example, a safety related problem may require only two attempts to be considered "reasonable" whereas other types of problems may require more attempts. In addition, another factor that will contribute to a strong case is the total number of days your vehicle has been in service. As a general rule, if your car has been at the dealer for 30 days or more, altogether, you probably have a valid lemon law claim.

Who is Covered Under the California Lemon Law

Any purchaser or lessee that has bought a new or used car or automobile in the state of California wherein the auto dealerships have been unable to repair the vehicle within the warranty period after being given a reasonable number of opportunities. For qualifying claims, the automobile manufacturer must give the purchaser or lessee his or her money back and pay off the outstanding loan balance, or replace the vehicle with a comparable model.

What is Paid Back Under California's Lemon Law

Information and Requirements for Cars, Motorcycles, RVs, Trucks and More

When the manufacturer repurchases your car under California's lemon law, you will receive a refund of your:

• Down payment;
• Monthly payments;
• Registration payments; and
• Out of pocket expenses for towing, car rentals, etc. (less a usage offset usually based on the number of miles you had on your vehicle when the problems first began).

In addition, the manufacturer must payoff the remaining balance on your loan or lease. As such, this is a great opportunity to make the manufacturer pay for giving you the runaround.
