Understanding Dodge Lemon Law in California

The California Lemon Law is designed to protect consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles. This law applies to vehicles that have substantial defects affecting their use, value, or safety. To qualify under the California Lemon Law, the defect must have emerged within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles of ownership. Additionally, the manufacturer or dealership must be given a reasonable number of attempts to repair the issue. If the problem persists despite these repair attempts, you may be entitled to a refund or replacement vehicle under the law.
