The Basics of the Lemon Law
The California Lemon Law refers to the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. The law protects consumers who may have purchased or leased a vehicle that is defective and gives them a way to pursue a claim. In addition to traditional vehicles, the law also applies to other products. The lemon law requires manufacturers to honor warranties, provide repairs, and replace the product or provide a full refund if the defect cannot be repaired. For affected consumers to be able to file a claim and obtain either a refund or a replacement, their vehicle must meet all conditions. We will review the requirements that vehicles have to meet below.
Does My Acura Qualify as a Lemon under the Lemon Law?
If your vehicle has a defect that is proving to be consistent even after there have been multiple repairs attempted, then you might be considering whether your vehicle is a lemon. For a vehicle to be considered a lemon, it must meet the following criteria:
- There must be a defect that affects the vehicle’s safety, use, or value
- The issues must have started while the vehicle was under warranty
- There must have been a reasonable number of repair attempts
If your Acura ILX meets all the points listed above, then your vehicle will likely qualify as a lemon, meaning that you could pursue a lemon law claim. If you are ready to explore your right to file an Acura ILX defective brake pads/rotors lemon lawsuit, contact our lemon lawyers as soon as possible.
What Remedies are Available for Lemon Law Claims?
As mentioned above, lemon law claims could result in either a replacement vehicle or a refund. When pursuing these claims, the main remedies available for consumers could include either a replacement vehicle (of equal or similar value) or a vehicle buyback (a full refund for the purchase price of the vehicle, including taxes, fees, etc.). In addition to either a refund or replacement, affected consumers may be eligible to recover compensation for all out-of-pocket costs incurred, such as rental vehicle costs, towing costs, and repair costs. Under the lemon law, auto manufacturers are required to cover all legal fees.
When you allow our Acura ILX lemon law attorneys to handle your lemon law claim, you can trust that our team will do everything possible to ensure that you are fairly compensated and that you recover what you are owed.

- Collect all records of out-of-pocket costs incurred (including towing costs, rental vehicle costs, and more)

How Long Do I have to File My Lawsuit?
This is one of the most important questions that a consumer can ask. This is because all claims are subject to a statute of limitations or a deadline to sue. The deadline to file lemon law claims, however, has recently changed. In the past, consumers were subject to a four-year deadline, but claims had to be filed while the warranty was still active, so claims usually had to be filed before the four-year mark. With the recent change, affected consumers actually have longer to file their claims. They have up to one year after the expiration of their warranty to file their claims, up to six years after the original purchase/delivery of the vehicle. Because this is a very recent change to the filing deadline, current claims may be subject to either deadlines, so it is important to reach out to a lawyer immediately to determine the exact time that you have to file your claim.
