What is a “Lemon” Under California Law?

A “lemon” refers to a vehicle with repeat defects or nonconformities that substantially impair its use, value, or safety. The California Lemon Law provides robust protection for consumers who find themselves with such problematic vehicles.

To qualify as a lemon under California law, a vehicle must meet several criteria:

• Warranty coverage: The defects and nonconformities should start during the validity of the warranty period and the vehicle should have been leased or bought in California. Read more about the “Military Exception” HERE.
• Substantial defect: The vehicle must have a defect or defects that significantly affect its use, value, or safety. These issues can range from major mechanical failures to persistent electrical or battery problems. Trivial issues may not qualify.
• Reasonable repair attempts: The manufacturer or its authorized repair facilities must have been given a reasonable number of attempts (plural) to fix the issue. While the law doesn’t specify an exact number, there must be at least two repair attempts to fix the vehicle by the manufacturer or its authorized dealership.
• Time or mileage threshold: If the vehicle has been out of service for repairs for 30 days or more (not necessarily consecutive) within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles of delivery, whichever comes first, it may qualify as a lemon. You can read more about the presumption of lemon on our website.

No misuse by the consumer: You should not have misused the vehicle. This includes but is not limited to taking the vehicle in for its scheduled repairs and checkups based on the owner’s manual.

It is vital to note that the law applies to both purchased and leased vehicles. Additionally, while the law primarily covers personal vehicles, it also extends to some small business vehicles and dealer-owned vehicles as long as the business does not own more than five (5) vehicles and the vehicle in question weighs less than 10,000 pounds.

Common Nissan Defects That May Lead to Lemon Law Claims

Nissan models have experienced recurring issues that could potentially lead to lemon law claims. It is important to note that not all defects qualify under the lemon law, but persistent problems that significantly impact a vehicle’s use, value, or safety may be eligible. Ask your attorney whether your issue may qualify under the lemon law.

Here are some common issues that Nissan owners in California have reported:

• Transmission problems: Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) failures have been a notable issue, particularly in models like the Altima, Rogue, and Sentra. Owners have reported jerking, shuddering, or hesitation during acceleration, as well as unexpected loss of power while driving. In some cases, transmission overheating has led to reduced performance or complete failure.
• Engine issues: Some Nissan models have shown a tendency for excessive oil consumption, sometimes using as much as 1 quart per 1,000 miles. This can lead to engine damage if not closely monitored. Other reported problems include sudden engine stalling or shutoff while driving, timing chain failures (especially in 2.5L 4-cylinder engines), and persistent engine knocking or ticking noises.
• Electrical system failures: Electrical problems in Nissans have ranged from faulty battery systems leading to frequent dead batteries to malfunctioning infotainment systems or touchscreens. Some owners have experienced issues with keyless entry and push-button start systems. Faulty batteries and changing electrical currents can cause significant damage to your engine that may lead to engine replacement.
• Brake system defects: Brake-related issues have included premature wear of brake pads and rotors, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) malfunctions, and instances where the brake pedal feels spongy or goes all the way to the floor.

• Nissan Sentra: Some owners have experienced CVT failures
• Nissan Pathfinder: Transmission issues and coolant leaks have been noted
• Nissan Murano: CVT problems and electrical system failures

Recent Nissan Recalls

Recalls can be strong indicators of widespread issues affecting certain vehicle models. Nissan has issued several significant recalls in recent years, highlighting potential problems that owners should be aware of.

In March 2023, Nissan recalled over 800,000 Sentra vehicles from the 2016-2019 model years due to a brake light problem that could increase crash risk. This was followed by a January 2023 recall affecting approximately 712,000 Rogue and Rogue Sport SUVs from the 2014-2020 model years, addressing potential corrosion in the dashboard harness connector.

In September 2022, Nissan recalled nearly 200,000 pickup trucks, including Frontier and Titan models from 2020-2023, due to a risk of the vehicles rolling away while in parking mode. A significant recall was also issued in December 2021, involving over 700,000 Rogue and Rogue Sport vehicles from the 2014-2016 model years due to potential electrical connector issues that could lead to fire risks.
