Hire a Lawyer if You Have a Lemon

If you buy a new vehicle in California and it is spending far more time in the shop than on the road, you may very well have purchased a lemon. Under the lemon law in the State of California, which is actually referred to as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, a car is considered to be a lemon if within 18 months from the day you take delivery or within 18,000 miles:

   * There have been two tries at repairing a warranty defect that could cause a serious injury or result in a death.

   * The vehicle manufacturer has made four tries at repairing the same warranty defect.

   * Your vehicle has been out of service for 30 days or more.

   * The issues with the vehicle are not the result of abuse by you.

If a car does qualify than the manufacturer is responsible to either replace it or refund your money in total. If they refuse to do so, it is time to hire an attorney.
