Are Lease Cars Covered Under California Lemon Law?

The California Lemon Law applies not only to new cars but also to lease cars. It protects consumers from lease cars that require frequent repairs or pose safety hazards, ensuring they receive appropriate legal protections and potential compensation.

How Do I Know Whether My Lease Car is a Lemon?

California’s Lemon Law mandates that manufacturers reimburse you for the cost of repairing or replacing your lease car under certain conditions. Before your lease car can be classified as a lemon, it must meet specific criteria:
  • You must lease your car.
  • Your lease car must be under warranty.
  • The defects must be covered by the warranty.
  • The defects must significantly affect the car’s use, value, or safety.
  • You must have brought your car in for multiple repairs.
  • The defects must persist despite repair attempts.
  • The defects must not be due to an accident or negligence.

You can protect yourself from leasing a lemon by choosing a reputable lessor. However, if you find yourself with a leased car that has manufacturer’s defects impacting its use and compromising your safety, you have legal options to pursue appropriate action.

What Do I Do if My Lease Car is a Lemon?

If you believe you’ve purchased a lemon, you have rights. Follow these steps:

Stop Using Your Boat

A recurring defect in your watercraft can jeopardize your safety, as well as the safety of any of your passengers. This is especially true of watercraft designed to go out onto open water where operators can be more vulnerable to changes in weather patterns or have difficulty navigating back to shore.

Locate Your Bill of Sale

California Lemon Law applies to vehicles that you own or lease. Having a copy of your bill of sale will prove that you own or lease the vehicle in question.

Consult Your Warranty

Next, check your manufacturer’s warranty. The warranty will indicate whether the problem is covered or not. Unfortunately, if the defect is not covered by this warranty, your options may be limited. But if the defect is covered under warranty, you can take advantage of the California Lemon Law.

Keep Detailed Records

You can improve your case dramatically by keeping detailed records of all repair work that has been done. Make sure to note the date and nature of each repair. You should also record any notes regarding conversations you have with your mechanic or the boat’s manufacturer. If you have received emails or other forms of written correspondence from your mechanic or the manufacturer, this can also be used to help your case.

Contact Your Manufacturer

If you haven’t already done so, consult your watercraft’s manufacturer directly. They may already be aware of safety or mechanical defects and be willing to work with you to avoid any legal action. If they request copies of your bill of sale or repair records, make sure to keep the originals for your own use.

Seek Legal Advice

Unfortunately, some manufacturers may fight you on your lemon claim. If that happens, you may need to take legal action. An attorney specializing in boat Lemon Law can review your case, including any documentation you present, and offer input regarding your legal options.
