 LEMON LAW DEFECTS
There are no "typical" defects that form the basis of a California Lemon Law claim. Any defect that "substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle" may qualify. Mechanical and driveability problems often are considered “substantial.” The defect must be one that the dealer or manufacturer has not repaired under warranty after a reasonable number of attempts.
An automobile (“auto”), car, SUV, truck, or any vehicle that has any of the following problems may indicate a substantial defect under the California Lemon Law:
- Brake problems
- Transmission issues
- Problems with fuel system components or leaking fuel
- Accelerator controls, or gas pedal, that break or stick
- Seats or seat backs that fail
- Vehicle components that break, fall apart, or separate
- Steering defects
- Check engine light or other dashboard light malfunction
- Airbag problems
- Repeat repairs
- Engine stall
- Electrical issues
- Days out of service at the dealer
- Any unsafe condition or dangerous condition
