What is the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act?

The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act is most often called the California Lemon Law and provides you with protection if you’ve leased or bought a used car as long as the vehicle you purchased included:
  • 1. Any part of the manufacturer’s warranty that is stiff in effect;
  • 2. A written warranty from an automotive dealer
  • 3. A certified pre-owned vehicle warranty. This means that your motor vehicle included an additional warranty through the certified pre-owned vehicle program offered by many manufacturers.
You could receive monetary compensation if you have repeated issues with your motor vehicle during the warranty period. This compensation could be in the form of a refund of the purchase price of your vehicle or cash for damages.

"As is" or Warranty?

If you purchased a used car in California it can qualify under California Lemon Laws if it came with a warranty. Even if you are not the original owner, and you purchased the vehicle while it was covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, you may still be protected under the California Lemon Law.

If you bought a used car and there wasn’t a manufacturer’s warranty included, then the automobile dealership must have given you a written warranty for the California used car lemon laws to apply.
In general, a dealer warranty on a used car will be limited to a period of less than three (3) months. Federal and state law does require that a Buyers Guide be displayed in a prominent place on any used car that is being offered for sale.
This Buyer’s Guide will have two boxes on it – one will be labeled ‘Warranty’ and one labeled, ‘As Is.’ If the used car you bought had the warranty box checked, then your motor vehicle came with a warranty and you may be able to file a claim under the California Lemon Laws.

The skilled and knowledgeable attorneys at Alpha Law Firm understand the California Lemon Laws and can explain what options may be available to you. Remember, California Lemon Laws require that the manufacturer of your vehicle pay all legal fees and costs.

What is A Reasonable Amount of Repair Attempts Under the California Lemon Laws?

California Lemon Laws apply to new vehicles that you have purchased for family, household or personal use. The California Lemon Law does also apply to a new vehicle that has a gross weight of under 10,000 pounds that you bought or use for business purposes by you, another person, a partnership, corporation, LLC, association or any other legal entity as long as not more than five motor vehicles are registered to in the state of California.
