About the Lemon Law
The lemon law refers to the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. It is a consumer protection law that gives consumers rights when they purchase or lease a defective vehicle. Under the law, affected consumers can pursue claims and request repairs, refunds, or replacements. For defective vehicles to qualify as “lemons” under the lemon law, they must meet a number of conditions, which include the following:
- The vehicle must have a defect that affects safety, value, or use
- The defect must have started while the vehicle was still under warranty
- The vehicle must have been subject to a reasonable number of repair attempts (The specific number of repair attempts will vary based on the defect present. In general, the more severe the defect, the fewer repair attempts needed)

How Long Do I have to File My Acura ILX Excessive Oil Consumption Lemon Law Lawsuit?
All claims are subject to a statute of limitations or a deadline to sue. When claimants fail to file their claims on time, then they can lose their right to sue altogether. So, how long do you have to file your lemon law claim. Because of a recent update to the lemon law, there are two deadlines that could apply. Previously, lemon law claims were subject to a four year deadline, although claims had to be filed while the manufacturing warranty was still active. Based on the update to the law, affected consumers now have up to one year from the expiration of the manufacturer’s warranty to file their claims, or no longer than six years from the original delivery date of the vehicle to file claims. Since this is a recent update, either one of the deadlines may apply. Therefore, it is important to reach out to an experienced lawyer to understand exactly how long you have to file your claim.
