What Is the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act?
California’s lemon law — formally the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act — protects consumers who purchase or lease new and certified pre-owned vehicles that turn out to have substantial defects. If the manufacturer or its authorized dealers cannot repair the vehicle after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a full refund or replacement vehicle.
The presumption under Civil Code § 1793.22 typically requires four or more repair attempts for the same nonconformity, two or more attempts for a safety-related defect, or 30 or more cumulative days out of service — all within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles.
