THE MOST COMMON LEMON LAW MISCONCEPTION.
The most common misconception about the California lemon laws is that you have to have a certain number of repairs within the first 18 months or first 18,000 miles. That is just not true!
Yet it may have stopped thousands of owners of purchased or leased lemons from trying to get their money back.
Newspaper articles, television shows, manufacturers’ personnel, dealer personnel, and even some California state agencies often give consumers this wrong information. Regardless of what these sources may have said or what you may have heard, most vehicles qualify for repurchase under the California lemon law because of attempts to repair the car, truck, or motorcycle after the first 18 months or first 18,000 miles.
If you have given a qualified dealer(s) four or more opportunities to repair the same problem, or; two or more opportunities for a life threatening problem; or if your vehicle has been out of service for more than 30 days for any combination of problems within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, then this may create a presumption that the car is a lemon. But such a presumption is absolutely not necessary, nor is it a guarantee that the manufacturer will immediately repurchase your car, truck, or motorcycle.
Because the requirements of the lemon laws are technical, and different manufacturers may interpret their obligations differently, it is important that you contact a qualified lemon law firm like ours to protect your rights.
