What is Californias “lemon” law?
California’s lemon law says consumers have the right to a refund or replacement when they buy vehicles that need constant repairs or have serious and persistent mechanical problems. Formally known as the Tanner Consumer Protection Act, the lemon law covers all motor vehicles sold or leased in California with a manufacturer’s warranty. It lays out the process dissatisfied vehicle buyers can follow to recover the money they paid for a “lemon” and all related costs, like repairs and towing.
