​Under California Law

Your Vehicle is a Lemon,  if...

          1. It is a "consumer" vehicle - that is: you purchased or leased it for personal, family or household purposes;

          2.  The defect first presents within 18 months of delivery or 18,000 miles.

          3. The defect cannot be repaired after four attempts;  or, after two attempts, if continued use is likely to result in death or serious bodily harm; or,

          4. The vehicle has been in the shop for a total of 30 days;

       and,

          5. The defect substantially reduces the vehicle’s use, value, or safety and was not caused by abuse of the vehicle.

     Keep Records

    If your vehicle is a Lemon, the manufacturer must buy it back for the full purchase price* or replace it with one of equal value. Your choice.

      You should keep detailed records of all the problems caused by your vehicle, for example, additional expenses and time lost from work.

     We'll need to review your retail sales agreement and service records to evaluate your claim. If you don't have these documents, you should request them from the Dealer. You shouldn't have any difficulty. If you do, we should talk! 

     Again, if you have any questions about your new or certified pre-owned vehicle call us at (877) 320-2380 or provide your information to the right and will be back with you promptly.

 

    * Less a mileage charge for use of the vehicle before the defect first appeared. The charge is a percentage of the purchase price calculated by dividing your mileage by 120,000.
