Important Update To California lemon law

Effective January 1, 2001 the California lemon law presumes a defective vehicle is a "lemon" if the dealership has attempted to repair a defect 2 or more times during the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first, and the consumer has directly notified the manufacturer of the defect.  In order for this presumption to apply, the defect must (1) be a condition likely to cause death or serious bodily injury, and (2) substantially impair the use, value or safety of the vehicle.

For defects not likely to cause death or serious bodily injury, the California lemon law presumes a defective vehicle is a "lemon" if the dealership attempted to repair a defect 4 or more times OR the vehicle has been out of service more than 30 days.  In order for this presumption to apply, the defect must substantially impair the use, value or safety of the vehicle.
