California’s Lemon Law is designed to protect consumers who have purchased or leased new or used vehicles with significant defects that impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. If a manufacturer or dealership cannot repair such defects after a reasonable number of attempts, the consumer may be entitled to a refund or replacement vehicle.

Lemon Law serves to protect you from vehicle manufacturers and fraud from dealerships.

Lemon Law is governed by each state. In the state of California, Lemon Law protects your rights as a consumer, but you must know if your vehicle qualifies as a lemon and how the Lemon Law process works.
