What is the lemon law? What protections are granted under the lemon law? The lemon law refers to the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. It protects consumers who purchased or leased a vehicle that turned out to be defective. Under the lemon law, manufacturers are required to honor their warranties, provide repairs when defects are present, and either replace the product or issue a full refund if they cannot repair the defect. Under the lemon law, consumers can pursue a claim to obtain either a replacement or a refund. However, for these claims to be filed, the vehicle in question must qualify as a lemon as defined by the law. If the necessary conditions are met, then the affected consumer could have the right to file a claim.

Understanding the Time You have to Sue
All claims are subject to a statute of limitations or a deadline to sue. If claimants do not file their claims on time, then they run the risk of losing their right to sue entirely. So, how long do you have to file your claim? Previously, under the lemon law, consumers had up to four years to file their lemon law claims, although claims had to be filed while the warranty was still active. However, there has been a change to the deadline that applies to these claims. Based on this change, claimants have to file their claims up to one year after the expiration of their warranty, no more than six years after the delivery of the vehicle. Because the change is relatively recent, either one of the deadlines can apply; therefore, it is important to reach out to an experienced lawyer to determine what deadline applies based on the specific purchase/delivery date.
