California Lemon Law FAQs
California Lemon Law FAQs
By Richard Romando
The most important question in relation to the California Lemon Law is whether the vehicle or the product in question is qualified as a “lemon.” The details to be considered when judging whether a vehicle or commodity is a lemon are the warranty period, the type of defects and the number of repair attempts. Another important query is on the number of attempts the manufacturer requires to make before the vehicle can be called a “lemon.”
Myths regarding the warranty period are very common and dealers and manufacturers have made it more confusing by spreading wrong information on the Internet. The new amended law regarding the time and mileage of the vehicle states 18000 miles or eighteen months.
Another important question is whether all consumer goods qualify under this law. It can be sometimes very confusing as to what qualifies as a consumer commodity. The other query is whether the arbitration program will completely satisfy the owner and the reimbursement will be equal to the amount that the court decides.
The definition of the term “attempt” is also important and taking the vehicle to the dealer or manufacturer for repairs is termed as an attempt, even if the dealer does not perform any changes or repairs on the vehicle or the product.
Another regular query is about vehicles or products bought “as-is.” This indicates that the buyer knew the inherent defects in the product and still invested in the vehicle or product. This law is known as the “caveat emptor” law, literally meaning “buyer beware.” It states that any product that has a defect about which the buyer is warned before the purchase, cannot qualify for the lemon law.
Questions regarding the reimbursement of expenses are necessary because the cost of repairing a vehicle is in no way negligible.
