Lemon Law Time Frame
In general, the California Lemon Law imposes a four year deadline to file a Lemon Law claim. This time limit starts when the consumer first experienced warrantable problems with their vehicle. There may be specific circumstances that apply to your unique case and so it's important to consult an attorney to discuss your opportunities for recovery.
Are You Eligible?
There is some subjectivity in determining the extent to which your vehicle qualifies for compensation. For example, if you own a vehicle that has a five-year warranty and you file your claim three years into that time frame, you squarely fall under the lemon law. However, the manufacturer can still whittle down the compensation they must provide if your vehicle has been put to consistent use and has racked up a large number of miles. That being said, there are some relatively set criteria that your vehicle must meet in order to be eligible.
To make a valid California Lemon Law claim, the vehicle in question must:
- Still be covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty
- Have been brought to an authorized dealer or manufacturer for repairs a reasonable number of times
- Have a recurring issue that is proven to either impair full functionality of the vehicle, present a real threat to safety while the vehicle is in operation, or take away a significant portion of the value of the vehicle
