What is a Lemon Vehicle Under California Law?
In California, a “lemon” isn’t just a sour fruit. It is a term used for vehicles with serious defects that the manufacturer can’t fix after a reasonable number of attempts. Also referred to as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, the California Lemon Law protects consumers who buy or lease new and used vehicles under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Your vehicle may be considered a lemon in California, if your Ford vehicle meet these criteria:
- The problem started within the warranty period
- The issue substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety
- The manufacturer has made “a reasonable number of repair attempts” to fix the vehicle
- The vehicle has been out of service for repairs for 30 days or more
It is important to note that the law covers both new and used vehicles as long as they are still under the original manufacturer’s warranty. Also, it does not matter whether the car is leased or purchased or even financed.
