Understanding Your Rights Under California Lemon Law
Under California's Lemon Law, consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles are entitled to certain remedies. If you have a valid Lemon Law claim, you may be able to receive a refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement. In most cases, the manufacturer is responsible for paying your attorney's fees and costs so you can obtain the legal representation you need at no out-of-pocket cost to you.
To have a valid Lemon Law claim, you must meet the following criteria:
- You purchased or leased a new Volkswagen vehicle in California
- Your vehicle has a defect that is covered by the manufacturer's warranty
- You reported the defect to the manufacturer or authorized dealership during the warranty period
- The manufacturer or authorized dealership was unable to repair the defect after a reasonable number of attempts
It is important to note that the Lemon Law only applies to vehicles that are still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. However, if your vehicle has a defect that is covered by the warranty, you may still be able to file a claim even if the warranty has expired. An experienced Volkswagen Lemon Law attorney can help you understand your rights and options.

What Am I Entitled to if My Vehicle Qualifies Under the California Lemon Law?

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.
