Understanding Polestar Lemon Law Claim Eligibility
Under California's Lemon Law, also known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, consumers are entitled to a refund, replacement, or cash compensation for a vehicle that has a substantial defect, or multiple defects, that have been covered under the manufacturer's warranty and that the manufacturer has been unable to repair. To be eligible for compensation under the Lemon Law, the vehicle must meet certain criteria.
To be considered a “lemon,” your Polestar vehicle must meet the following requirements:
- The vehicle has been in the shop for repairs a “reasonable” number of times
- The vehicle has been in the shop for an extended period of time
- The manufacturer has been unable to repair the vehicle
Common Issues with Polestar Vehicles
Polestar vehicles are known for their sleek design and innovative technology, but some owners have reported recurring issues. If your Polestar is experiencing defects that the manufacturer cannot fix, you may have a Lemon Law claim. Here are some of the most common problems:
- Battery Failures – Some Polestar owners have reported battery issues, including rapid depletion, charging malfunctions, or complete battery failure.
- Charging Problems – Vehicles may struggle to charge properly, whether at home or at public charging stations. Slow charging, unexpected disconnections, or failure to charge can be major concerns.
- Software Glitches – Many Polestar vehicles rely heavily on software, which can sometimes cause problems like system crashes, unresponsive infotainment screens, or faulty driver-assist features.
- Drivetrain Malfunctions – Some drivers have experienced acceleration delays, unexpected power loss, or transmission issues, making the vehicle unreliable.
If your Polestar is dealing with these or similar problems, and the manufacturer has been unable to fix them, you could be eligible for compensation under California’s Lemon Law.
How Long Does a Lemon Law Claim Take?
The timeline for a Lemon Law case can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the issue and the manufacturer’s willingness to settle. Here’s a general breakdown:
- Case Evaluation (1-2 Weeks) – Your attorney will review your case and determine if your Polestar qualifies under the Lemon Law.
- Filing the Claim (2-4 Weeks) – A formal complaint is filed against the manufacturer, outlining the defects and repair history.
- Negotiation & Settlement (1-6 Months) – Many cases are resolved through negotiation, where the manufacturer may offer a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement.
- Trial (6-12+ Months, If Necessary) – If the manufacturer refuses to settle, the case may go to court, which can extend the process.
Most cases settle without going to trial, meaning you could receive compensation within a few months.
Steps to Take if You Suspect Your Polestar is a Lemon
If you believe your Polestar is defective, follow these steps to strengthen your Lemon Law claim:
- Document Repairs – Keep copies of all repair orders, service records, and receipts. Ensure each repair visit is documented, even if no fix is made.
- Check Warranty Coverage – Your vehicle must still be under the manufacturer’s warranty to qualify for a Lemon Law claim.
- Track Repair Attempts – California’s Lemon Law requires a "reasonable" number of repair attempts. Generally, this means:
- Two or more repairs for a serious safety defect.
- Four or more repairs for a recurring problem.
- 30+ days in the shop for any defect.
- Notify the Manufacturer – If your vehicle is not being fixed, inform the manufacturer in writing about the ongoing issues.
- Consult a Lemon Law Attorney – An experienced attorney can help you file a claim and fight for the compensation you deserve.

What Am I Entitled to if My Vehicle Qualifies Under the California Lemon Law?
If your vehicle qualifies under the California Lemon Law, you may be entitled to a refund of your down payment and monthly finance payments, as well as a discharge of your vehicle loan.

Can I Have a Claim Under the California Lemon Law if My Repair Visits Did Not Occur Within the Vehicle’s First 18 Months and 18,Generally, your issue must have occurred within 18 months or within 18,000 miles (whichever came first). However, major defects that occur outside of this time frame may still present a viable claim. The court may assess situations on a case-by-case basis.

How Many Times Do I Need to Take My Car Back to the Dealer Before I Have a California Lemon Law Claim?
The California Lemon Law states that dealerships must be given a reasonable number of opportunities to repair a vehicle. The law is fairly broad, leaving room for a variety of different circumstances. Since the law does not require any specific number of repair visits, each matter should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Typically, four visits for the same problem will qualify, but, depending on the defect, fewer visits may suffice. For example, a defect as severe as brake system failure may only require two visits. Moreover, if a vehicle spends a cumulative total of over 30 days in the shop for warranty repairs, it may satisfy the requirement no matter how many separate visits were made.
