Navigating The California State Lemon Law System



Consumers who believe the vehicle they have purchased qualifies under the California State Lemon Law must first assess whether their automobile fits all the requirements under the law. The factors involved in the California vehicle lemon law include the warranty period, the type of defects that were present in the vehicle, and the number of attempts that were made by the manufacturer to repair those defects. In order for consumers to get a grasp of the intricacies of the law, many choose to hire a California Lemon Law attorney to help sort it out.



Automobile manufacturers will often try to confuse consumers about the warranty qualifications under the California State Lemon Law, but it is actually quite simple. The newest version of the California vehicle lemon law states that the warranty period is 18,000 miles or 18 months, unless the manufacturer offers a longer warranty. Not all defects qualify under the law, though, so it is helpful to ask a California Lemon Law attorney whether a vehicle will qualify before proceeding.



Another important factor to consider in regards to the California State Lemon Law is the repair attempts. The California vehicle lemon law has certain stipulations about the number of attempts the manufacturer makes to repair the vehicle before a person can take action under the law. If they refuse to make repairs, the consumer must still make the attempts to bring their vehicle to the location. Consumers must do their part under the law to receive the benefits and protection, but a California Lemon Law attorney can help make sure that all these requirements are met.
