It took many years, but consumer advocates in California got a law passed that everyone seemed to agree was one of the best decisions that ever came out of the California legislation. Consumer advocates pressed to hold vehicle manufacturers accountable for decades, they won and now auto consumers in this state are thoroughly protected.

This lemon law in California also known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, is a real boost for consumers when having to deal with major vehicle manufacturers and dealerships. According to this law, if it is determined that your car, SUV or truck is a "lemon" then the manufacturer must provide the consumer with a replacement vehicle or buy the automobile back from them. A California Lemon Law Attorney, who specializes in this law, can help you with this.

There are so many consumers who do not realize that their vehicle, even if it isn't new, as long as it is under warranty, can be covered under this law. And most that feel that they have a case regarding their vehicle are usually correct. What is sad is that many people just live with a car, SUV, truck, motorcycle or motor home that is less than perfect and spend years in and out of repair shops, never really getting what they are paying for. At this point, every consumer should find a California Lemon Law Attorney and get a free consultation.

After your free evaluation, the attorney will tell you if you qualify; meaning that you have met the criteria needed to proceed with legal action against the manufacturer/dealership. If he/she finds that you in fact do qualify, many times they will file papers, etc. without any out of pocket expense to you. So when looking for a lawyer who specializes in this law, make sure that he will do that for you.

Lastly, what is wonderful for the consumer is that the vehicle manufacturer is under obligation with this law. If there are too many attempts to fix the vehicle or appropriate repairs do not seem to be working they have to either repurchase or replace the defective vehicle. There is absolutely no set number of repair attempts and your attorney will make sure that you know that as well as any other intricacies of this law.

Vehicle manufacturers are obligated, under this law to repair flaws and are allowed a reasonable amount of time to do it. What is a "reasonable" number of attempts simply depends on the nature of the problem. If it is serious enough then perhaps a "reasonable" number may be fewer than four, but more than one.

Don't wait any longer. This law was made to protect each and every automobile consumer in the state of California. If you believe that you have purchased or leased a lemon, contact a California Lemon Law Attorney and find out your rights. After all, the law was made with you in mind.
