Motor Vehicle Sales/Leasing Claims
Breach of Warranty ("Lemon Law") Claims
While many dealers are honest, some are not. California
provides protection to consumers who have purchased or leased a
vehicle from a dishonest dealer. In many cases, the contract is
unenforceable and the consumer is entitled to return the vehicle
for a full refund.

Lemon Law (Song-Beverly Warranty Act)
The Lemon Law applies to many items, including cars, computers and other
household goods. It requires that, where a warranty is given as an inducement
to purchase an item, the item must conform to the warranty. With some
exceptions, the manufacturer must be provided with an opportunity to make
any repairs which would, within a reasonable time, bring the item into
conformity with the warranty. If, after this opportunity, the item still does not
comply with the warranty, the manufacturer must repurchase the item.
If the manufacturer refuses to repurchase the item and the court finds that the
item does not conform to the warranty, the manufacturer must refund all money
paid on the transaction and pay the reasonable attorney's fees and costs required
to obtain the refund.

Any product which comes with a warranty comes with the
manufacturer's representation that it will perform to the specified
level for the specified period of time. If it does not, it is dubbed a
"lemon" and the consumer may return it to the manufacturer for
a refund.
