What is the California Lemon Law?
A defect is something the vehicle does, or does not do, that falls below the standard set forth in the warranty.
A Lemon is a vehicle that the manufacturer has not successfully repaired after a certain number of attempts, or after the vehicle has been out of service for a particular number of days.
-Chapter 8 of Lemon Law The Standard Reference Guide by Norman F. Taylor
A lemon is a vehicle in which the defective condition substantially impairs its use, value or safety.
A consumer can have a valid lemon law claim when successive defects demand continuous repair, even if the dealership successfully repairs each defect, so long as problems continue to arise.

Who has what rights and what duties in Lemon Law matters? It seems clear. The consumer has the duty to present the vehicle to the manufacturer or its representative, the dealership, in order that they are able to diagnose the defect and repair it. Along with the duty, the consumer has a right to expect the dealership to repair the vehicle honestly and expeditiously.

A lemon car is one that the manufacturer has not been able to repair despite a reasonable number of attempts. The law does not specify what is “a reasonable number of attempts.” As a rule of thumb, four repair attempts for the same problem is usually a reasonable number. This is a general rule and may vary depending upon the seriousness of the defect. Just a few of the problems that can occur in a lemon car are illumination of the check engine light, transmission defects, stalling, power lock and window failure, water leaks, paint defects and much more.
Under the California lemon law where a manufacturer cannot repair a consumer good after a reasonable number of attempts, and the defect is substantial, it must either replace the defective product or refund the consumer’s money. You need a California lemon law attorney if the manufacturer refuses to offer a refund or replacement. When someone wins a California lemon law case they are entitled to a refund or replacement, costs and expenses and attorney’s fees. Don’t go back to the dealer that sold you the lemon car, get help from the lemon law attorneys at Norman Taylor & Associates.
