Lemon Law Help in San Diego County

San Diego Lemon Lawyer

Is your vehicle spending more time at the dealership than on the road? Are you tired of hearing, “we can’t replicate the problem” or “just give us one more try”? You’re not alone.

At Mission Law Group, we see it every day – hardworking San Diego residents stuck with defective vehicles while manufacturers dodge responsibility. We’re here to change that.

When your vehicle doesn’t live up to its promises, you need more than just another law firm – you need dedicated advocates who understand what you’re going through and know how to make it right.

Our San Diego Lemon Law attorneys have helped numerous California consumers break free from their defective vehicles and regain control of their lives.

We don’t just handle your case – we handle your concerns, questions, and needs every step of the way.

Real Protection Under California Lemon Law

California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act provides some of the strongest consumer protections in the nation. Under this law, manufacturers must repair substantial warranty defects within a reasonable number of attempts.

If they can’t (or won’t), you have the right to choose between:

  • A complete refund of your purchase price, including taxes, registration, and related expenses
  • A replacement vehicle of equal value with all fees covered by the manufacturer
  • Compensation for your troubles and manufacturer-paid attorney fees

Any substantial defect that impacts your vehicle’s use, value, or safety could qualify – from transmission issues to persistent check engine lights to electrical system failures.

When is Your San Diego Vehicle a “Lemon”?

Your vehicle may qualify for protection under California’s Lemon Law if:

  • It has substantial defects covered by the manufacturer’s warranty
  • The problems began during the warranty period
  • The manufacturer has failed to repair the defects after a reasonable number of attempts
  • The defects significantly impact the vehicle’s use, value, or safety

The law presumes a “reasonable number” of repair attempts has been made when:

  • The same serious safety defect has been repaired twice without success
  • The same substantial defect has been repaired four or more times without success
  • Your vehicle has been out of service for repairs for 30 days or more (not necessarily consecutive

Best of all? These protections apply to both new AND Certified Pre-Owned vehicles still under the manufacturer’s warranty.
