Repair Guidelines California Lemon Law

June 9, 2010

Under the Californian lemon law, if a person buys a vehicle or any other consumer goods and the vehicle or goods in question develops a serious defect within the warranty period, then the owner is entitled to a full reimbursement or replacement of the vehicle by the manufacturer or the dealer. This protects the interests of the customers.

The manufacturer gets the opportunity to repair the vehicle in question, but this opportunity is well defined by the law. It states that if the manufacturer is not able to repair the vehicle even after four attempts, in the case of a normal defect or after two attempts, in the case of a serious safety defect or the vehicle cannot be repaired within 30 days of servicing, then the vehicle or the product can be declared a “lemon.” Court proceedings can then begin if the owner wants relief.
