Lemon Laws are designed to protect people who have purchased cars that do not meet safety or other performance standards. Many Californians are either unaware that California has a Lemon Law or, for a variety of reasons, falsely believe that it doesn’t provide them with any rights as consumers. California actually has a very consumer-friendly Lemon Law that protects both buyers and lessees of new and used vehicles. The law applies to cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, motor homes, and registered motorcycles.
In order for your Honda vehicle to qualify as a lemon under the California Lemon Law, the issues you are facing with your Honda must be considered substantial. This means that the problems must substantially impact the use, value, or safety of your Honda vehicle. A common misconception is that in order for a vehicle to qualify as a lemon, the problems must impact the safety of the vehicle. This is not true. Some examples of problems that could be considered substantial are problems involving:
- Brakes
- Engines
- Steering
- Electrical systems
- Suspension
- Air conditioning/heating systems
- Windows
- Transmissions
- Doors
- Back up cameras
- Water leaks
There are several possible scenarios that qualify your Honda for monetary recovery or vehicle replacement under the California Lemon Law. It is important to remember that your vehicle does not have to be brand new, or have incredibly low mileage in order to be protected. Even if you have over 50,000 miles on your Honda, if you took it in for repair while it was still under warranty it could still potentially be considered a lemon. Technically, even if it is no longer under warranty there is still a possibility of qualifying if there is an ongoing problem that required it to be in the shop several times prior to the expiration of the warranty.
Additionally, your Honda vehicle could qualify as a lemon if it has been in the shop for an excessive number of days since you took possession of the car – even if all of the repairs have been for separate issues. A Honda that needs to be constantly repaired for different issues can often qualify as one that is substantially impaired under the Lemon Law.
