CALIFORNIA CONSUMER WARRANTY ACT
WHAT IS LEMON LAW?
The Consumer Warranty Act safeguards Californians who buy or lease defective vehicles. Manufacturers and dealerships must honor their warranty commitments and make a reasonable number of repair attempts.
When they fail, the vehicle qualifies as a “lemon” — and the manufacturer is required to either replace it, refund what you paid, or compensate you in full. They also have to cover your attorney fees, so pursuing this costs you nothing out of pocket.

Manufacturer returns what you paid (purchase price, down payment, taxes, fees) minus a usage offset for miles driven before the first reported defect.

You may still be able to recover compensation. California law allows injured people to recover damages even if they were partly responsible, though the amount may be reduced by their share of fault.
