What Qualifies as a Lemon?

Under the California Lemon Law, your vehicle has a “substantial defect” and continues to have the same defect after a “reasonable number” of repair attempts for the exact same problem, it can be considered a lemon. A reasonable number of repair attempts is four or more repair attempts by the manufacturer or its authorized dealers for problems that substantially impair the use, value, or safety of the vehicle.

Examples of Substantial Safety-related Defects

  • Steep Incline Gearbox Slippage: Severe rollback hesitation or clutch slippage when starting from a stop on steep city hills, indicating a chronic transmission problem.
  • Regenerative Braking & EV Sensor Faults: Advanced battery sensor or regenerative braking system dropouts triggered by moisture-sensitive (electrical wiring system shortages).
  • Urban Powertrain Dropouts: Suffering a dangerous [sudden engine stall] or an immediate drop in acceleration while navigating tight, one-way city streets or bridge traffic.
  • Digital Dashboard & Screen Blackouts: Complete failure of the central control touchscreen or digital instrument cluster, disabling critical navigation on confusing city routes.
  • Critical vehicle components: Breakage, fall apart, or separate from the vehicle, causing potential loss of vehicle control or injury to persons inside or outside the vehicle.
  • Problems with fuel system components: Susceptibility to crash damage that can result in fuel leaks and fires.

Our services are ALWAYS free to consumers! Once you submit your information to our firm, we provide a free case evaluation within 24 hours in most cases. If we agree to represent you, we will settle the claim as quickly and efficiently as possible, while obtaining the best possible result for you. Each case is different and each automobile manufacturer handles these types of cases differently.

With that said, we have worked with the same attorneys representing the automobile manufacturers over the years and we have an excellent working relationship with all of them. These cases rarely go to trial and it is extremely unlikely that you will have to go to court for any reason while pursuing a lemon law claim. The best evidence in making a lemon law claim in California is the repair order and subsequent repair invoice  provided to you by the repairing dealership.

FAQs About Filing a Lemon Law Case in San Mateo

Our clients very rarely see the inside of a courtroom, since our focus is on reaching settlements that resolve disputes without the added stress of trial. On the rare occasion a hearing is required, San Mateo County matters are heard at the Hall of Justice at 400 County Center in Redwood City. That said, negotiation is almost always where these cases end.

Formal in-person meetings are by appointment only. Appointment-based lets us dedicate real time to each client rather than juggling walk-ins. Most clients choose to manage their entire case remotely through video, phone, or email. Whichever you prefer, the process bends to fit your schedule rather than the other way around.

You pay nothing to file a lemon law claim in California. The manufacturer is legally responsible for covering attorney fees and litigation costs, not you. We front all costs and are reimbursed by the manufacturer: no hourly billing, no fees taken from your settlement or buyback, and a free case evaluation to start things off.
