“Lemon law” actually refers to two laws that work together to protect the rights of consumers. These laws include the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and the Tanner Consumer Protection Act. Under these two laws, consumers with defective products can have the right to pursue a claim and get either a replacement vehicle or a full refund for the purchase price of the vehicle (known as a vehicle buyback).

To meet the definition of a lemon, the following conditions must be met:

• The vehicle must still be under manufacturer warranty

• The vehicle must have been subjected to a reasonable number of repair attempts

• The vehicle must have a defect that affects value, use, or safety of the vehicle

The lemon law applies to vehicles that were leased and financed and to vehicles that are new or certified-used or certified pre-owed (given that they are still covered by manufacturer warranty). If you are unsure of whether your vehicle will qualify as a lemon, please do not hesitate to reach out to the experts here at our law firm as soon as possible.

• A replacement vehicle (the manufacturer will replace the vehicle for one of similar value)

• Reimbursement for all out of out-of-pocket costs, including rental costs, repair costs, and towing costs, for example
