A lot of repair expenses and disappointment should not follow the experience of purchasing a new car. Sadly enough, a significant number of Los Angeles drivers find themselves with what has become known as a lemon, a vehicle with chronic problems that the dealer or the manufacturer is unable to fix.
The Lemon Law of California is in place to help such consumers, and the procedure is not always easy to follow. That is when an experienced lemon lawyer at Seven Law Group can support you the most.
Understanding California’s Lemon Law
The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act includes the California Lemon Law, which was established to protect consumers who end up purchasing defective vehicles. It is applicable to new cars, leased vehicles, and used cars still under the original warranty of the manufacturer.
To qualify, the defect must:
- Be substantial and have an impact on the safety, value, or use of the car.
- Remain even after a decent amount of repair efforts.
- This happens inside a particular period, usually within the warranty term.
The number of attempts at repair, which is taken into consideration by the law, is:
- 2 or more attempts to solve a major safety defect (like steering or brakes).
- 4 or more repeated occurrences of the identical lack of safety.
- Or, when the car is off the road cumulatively in excess of 30 days because of repairs.
When your case fits these conditions, the manufacturer will have to substitute your car with a comparable one or repay your money, including your down payment, your monthly payments, and some fees.
Why Can Filing A Lemon Law Claim Be Tricky?
On paper, it is a simple law. The truth is that car manufacturers tend to resist lemon claims strongly. They might:
- Pretend that the defect is not serious.
- Argue that the issue is due to misuse or lack of maintenance.
- Make a partial settlement that does not cover all your losses.
This is where most car owners hang up. They have followed the rules and repair records, but still end up with delays or denials. Without our help, it is easy to feel overwhelmed or pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
How A Lemon Lawyer Helps You Win?
A lemon lawyer focuses on representing car owners against manufacturers and dealerships. Here’s how they make a difference:
- Case Evaluation – They review your service history, warranty, and repair attempts to confirm if your car qualifies.
- Documentation & Evidence – They organise all relevant paperwork, repair orders, and communications to build a strong case.
- Manufacturer Negotiations – They handle all discussions with the manufacturer, so you’re not dealing with their legal team directly.
- Legal Action if Needed – If negotiations fail, they can take your case to court and fight for full compensation.
