California’s lemon law is the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, and its vehicle-specific provisions are the Tanner Consumer Protection Act, codified at California Civil Code section 1793.22. It enforces both the manufacturer’s written (express) warranty and the implied warranty that a vehicle is fit for ordinary use. Two features make California’s law among the strongest in the country: the manufacturer generally pays a prevailing consumer’s attorney fees, and a civil penalty is available for willful violations.
The standard is a “reasonable number” of attempts, but the Tanner Act creates a presumption that a vehicle is a lemon if, within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, the manufacturer made two or more attempts to repair a defect likely to cause serious injury, four or more attempts to repair another substantial defect, or the vehicle was out of service 30 or more cumulative days for warranty repairs.
A qualifying vehicle generally entitles the owner to a buyback (a refund reduced by a statutory deduction for use before the defect was reported) or a comparable replacement, reimbursement of incidental costs such as towing and rental, attorney fees paid by the manufacturer if the consumer prevails, and a civil penalty of up to two times actual damages for willful violations. The 2025 reforms under Assembly Bill 1755 and Senate Bill 26 changed the procedure for bringing a claim — notice requirements and deadlines — not what a vehicle must show to qualify or what a consumer can recover.
In most California lemon law cases the manufacturer pays the prevailing consumer’s attorney fees, so consumers generally pay nothing out of pocket. We begin with a no fee review of your repair history.
