How many repairs before a car is a lemon?

Cars are legally considered lemons only after a reasonable number of attempts have been made to repair them. The law does not specify precisely how many attempts qualify as a “reasonable number.” However, California’s lemon law offers general guidelines to help consumers determine whether they have made a sufficient number of repair attempts. After qualifying consumers make a reasonable number of repair attempts, and their vehicles still do not function as intended, they are then eligible for refunds or vehicle replacements under California lemon law.
