Does the Lemon Law only apply to cars?
No. It includes all vehicles, including cars, trucks, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, boats, jet skis, helicopters, and home appliances, including refrigerators, freezers, ovens, washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers.
How long does the Lemon Law process take and do I have to pay any fees?
On average, it can take 2-6 months. There is no fee and the car/product manufacturer pays attorney fees and court filing costs.
Can the Lemon Law resolve my case without going through a formal court process?
In many cases, yes. Manufacturers have no reason to engage in litigation for reasons that they believe they will lose, even if it is costly. Therefore, if the litigation costs are expected to be high, they will try to resolve the case without filing a lawsuit.
What are the qualifications for a defective product?
This is possible as long as you have visited the dealer/place where you purchased the product a few times before the warranty expires due to a problem (not necessarily for the same problem) and have proof of these visits.
Are Lemon Law claims public or on record?
No. Since there is no record of a lemon claim on the plaintiff, even if you later sell your vehicle to a used car dealer like CarMax, there will be no record of a lemon claim, so your vehicle’s value will not be reduced. The Lemon Law was created to protect consumers and streamline the process.
Can I still file a claim if my car is used?
Yes, the Lemon Law can apply to used cars if they are still under the manufacturer’s warranty and meet certain criteria.
What if the manufacturer refuses to cooperate?
Our experienced attorneys will negotiate on your behalf and, if necessary, take legal action to ensure your rights are protected.

How many times do I have to take my car back to the dealer before I get a California Lemon Law claim?
California Lemon Law requires dealers to provide a reasonable opportunity to repair your vehicle. The law does not specifically specify the number of repair visits. Also, if your vehicle has been in the dealership for a total of 30 days for warranty repairs, you may meet the requirement regardless of the number of separate visits. Each problem must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Does the Lemon Law apply to vehicles that were subject to recall?
If the vehicle still has the same recall issue after the recall, the Lemon Law may apply. The Lemon Law is even stronger when the issue is caused by the recall or when the issue actually persists after the recall. For example, Company H’s O vehicle had a recall for a door latch a few years ago. The client’s vehicle had a problem with the sliding door that was part of the recall not closing. The same issue persisted after the vehicle was recalled. In this case, the Lemon Law claim was even more justified because the recall supported the client’s claim that the door was not working properly. However, if you only received a recall notice and did not have an issue with the vehicle, you are unlikely to win. Therefore, if you did not notice anything unusual about your vehicle when it was subject to a recall, it is advisable to immediately request a recall if you notice anything unusual when driving the vehicle, such as seeing, feeling, or hearing something out of the ordinary.
J.D. Power recently reported that the most common complaint about vehicles is the infotainment system. Despite its advanced technology, the system has reliability issues. Here are some issues that fall under the Lemon Law: slow and unresponsive touchscreens; screens that freeze or turn off; voice commands that don’t work; Bluetooth connectivity issues that fail to sync with your smartphone or other media devices; loading times that are longer than the system should; poor-quality Bluetooth streaming sound; poor performance in weather; navigation that doesn’t work, etc.
Consumers expect dealers to magically fix the problem. But when reprogramming and replacing the system doesn’t fix the problem, vehicle owners can become anxious and frustrated. California’s Lemon Law provides a way for consumers to recover compensation for these types of problems. The law requires automakers to pay attorneys’ fees, so consumers don’t have to pay attorneys’ fees.
