What Qualifications Should Your Car Meet?
California’s Lemon Law says a vehicle manufacturer may be required to buy back or replace a vehicle if they cannot repair a defect that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety.
To qualify:
- The vehicle must have been bought or leased in California.
- The defect has not been corrected despite a reasonable number of repair attempts.
- The defect must be covered by a manufacturer’s new car warranty or a warranty that applies to a used vehicle.
- The defect was not caused by the owner’s unreasonable use of the vehicle.
What is a Reasonable Number of Repair Attempts?
A reasonable number of repairs can vary from case to case, but two or more attempts to fix the problem are typically considered reasonable. The best way to determine whether you have made a reasonable number of attempts to have your vehicle repaired is to contact The Barry Law Firm today. One of our Intake Specialists will review the information about your vehicle and discuss in depth the details of your specific case at no charge to you.
What Should I Do if My Car is a Lemon?
If you purchased your car in California and have been unable to have a substantial warrantied problem with your vehicle repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you may file a Lemon Law claim.
First, you should review your vehicle’s warranty to verify that it covers the issue you have been unable to repair. Then, you need to document your repair attempts.
To prepare a claim, gather these records:
- Purchase or lease agreement
- Vehicle registration
- Warranty
- Repair orders
- Correspondence with manufacturer or dealer
