Santa Ana - Lemon Attorneys

Understanding the Lemon Law in Santa Ana

The lemon law in Santa Ana, otherwise known as the California Lemon Law, provides some of the strongest consumer protection in the nation. This law protects buyers and lessees of new and used vehicles that are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. If your vehicle has a substantial defect that the manufacturer doesn’t fix after a reasonable number of repair attempts, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle or a refund, in addition to civil penalties. 

Santa Ana has seen our lemon law lawyers successfully challenge every major (and minor) auto manufacturer, from Ford and General Motors to Toyota, Honda, Tesla, and luxury brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz. We know the tactics manufacturers use to delay or deny claims, and we’re prepared to fight for your rights.

What Makes a Vehicle a Lemon?

A vehicle may qualify as a lemon under California law if it has a warranty-covered defect that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. Common issues we see include transmission problems, engine defects, electrical system failures, brake malfunctions, and persistent warning lights, although there are many possible defects. 

The manufacturer must be given a reasonable opportunity to repair the defect. Typically, this means they’ve had at least two repair attempts for a serious safety issue or four attempts for other substantial defects. Alternatively, if your vehicle has been out of service for 30+ days due to repairs, it may qualify as a lemon.
