Enforcing the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act

The California Lemon Law, formally codified as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act under California Civil Code sections 1790 through 1797.96, protects consumers who buy or lease warranted consumer goods. If an automaker cannot repair a substantial defect after a reasonable number of attempts or if the vehicle remains out of service for thirty cumulative days, the law requires the manufacturer to buy back the vehicle or provide a replacement. Retaining an attorney ensures that manufacturers cannot delay your claim or avoid statutory obligations. The practice handles warranty disputes across a broad spectrum of vehicles and products:

• Defective new and used car claims involving transmission failures, engine malfunctions, and electronic defects.
• Commercial truck and pickup claims, including diesel engine breakdowns, suspension wobble, and structural leaks.
• Motorhome, RV, fifth wheel trailer, and toy hauler warranty claims under California consumer protection statutes.
• Motorcycle and van defect litigation against major domestic and foreign automobile corporations.
• Breach of contract claims where manufacturers willfully refuse warranty obligations, triggering statutory civil penalties.

Clients who consult a lawyer rather than attempting to negotiate directly with dealership representatives avoid lowball settlement offers and secure complete restitution of their purchase price.

Zero Out-of-Pocket Legal Fees for California Consumers

A major advantage of the California Lemon Law is its statutory fee-shifting provision. When an attorney successfully resolves a claim against an automaker, the manufacturer is legally obligated to pay all reasonable attorney fees and costs. The Law Offices of David J. Farrell operates on this model: clients pay no upfront attorney fees, and the firm advances case expenses. Furthermore, attorney Farrell personally evaluates every case and reviews all service records directly, ensuring you receive individualized attention from an experienced trial lawyer from inception to resolution.
