California Lemon
Law for Cars & Trucks
Struggling with a car or truck that won’t stop breaking down?
California’s Lemon Law is designed to protect you from defective vehicles
and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
Who Qualifies
for
a Lemon Law?

New cars and trucks purchased for personal use.

Vehicles with a gross weight under 10,000 pounds used for business purposes by individuals or entities (partnerships, LLCs, corporations, or associations) as long as no more than five vehicles are registered to that entity in California.
for small business use, you may still be protected under the law.
Which Vehicles
Are Covered?
These vehicles qualify:
- New cars and trucks
- Vehicles still under warranty
- Certified pre-owned cars (with warranty)
When It
Becomes a Lemon
A vehicle may be considered a lemon if the manufacturer has tried to fix the same problem multiple times but failed. If the issue is serious and affects safety, even two repair attempts may be enough. For less serious problems, four or more repair attempts may qualify. Also, if your vehicle has been in the repair shop for more than 30 days in total, it may be considered a lemon.
What You Can Get
If your car or truck qualifies as a lemon, you may be able to receive a replacement vehicle or get your money back. This can include the cost of the vehicle and other related expenses. The goal of the law is to make sure you are not stuck with a defective vehicle.
