The law covers:
Under California law, a “reasonable number” of repair attempts is generally presumed when:
Most Lemon Law attorneys, including Mission Law Group, work on a contingency basis. This means you don’t pay any upfront fees. If your case is successful, the manufacturer is required by law to pay your attorney fees and costs.
As of November 2024, California’s Lemon Law only covers new vehicles and certain certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles that come with a manufacturer’s warranty. Standard used vehicles are no longer covered under the Lemon Law.
If a manufacturer refuses to honor your Lemon Law rights, you can take legal action. An experienced Lemon Law attorney can help navigate the process and protect your rights. The law provides for civil penalties up to two times your actual damages if the manufacturer’s failure to comply was willful.
