When you purchase a new car you expect it to perform flawlessly. If your new car ends up spending more time in the dealer’s service department than it does on the road there is a very good chance that it is one of the one percent of new cars manufactured that turns out to be a lemon. Fortunately you can hire a California lemon law attorney to defend your rights when you are stuck with a car that does not perform as it should.
The law protects consumers that end up with a lemon. In the eyes of the law, a new vehicle that has serious defects and cannot be repaired within a specific time frame, number of attempts or number of miles entitles you to a full refund or a new vehicle of equal value.
How does the state of California define a lemon?
The state of California adheres to the Song-Beverly Warranty Act to define a lemon. A vehicle is presumed to be a lemon if, within 18 months of the date of delivery to the buyer the following has transcribed:
* Two attempts have been made to fix a fault that can potentially cause death or serious injury
* The car has been unavailable to the owner for 30 days or more due to repairs of warranty problems
* The vehicle manufacturer has tried to repair the same problem four times, and
* The fault is not as a result of vehicle abuse
