A common misconception of the consumer law is that the lemon law applies only to cars or trucks. While this is true in many states, both California’s lemon law and the federal lemon law apply to all consumer products. This includes motor homes and Recreational Vehicles (RVs), boats and other watercraft, motorcycles, and even household appliances and personal computers. The controlling factor is not what kind of product it is, but whether it came with a written warranty.
There are some subtle differences between the way California’s lemon law treats cars and the way the law treats other consumer products. In either case, however, if the warrantor cannot fix the product after a reasonable number of attempts, it should replace the product or refund the consumer’s money.
Please keep in mind that the vast majority of the cases that we handle – over 90% – settle without the need for a trial. When the warrantor of a defective product chooses to go to trial against us, however, here are some of the results:
Carranza v. Honda: The Carranzas purchased a new Honda vehicle, which manifested engine-control problems shortly after purchase. The Carranzas had added various aftermarket electrical devices to their vehicle after purchase, but also after the electrical problems had already arisen. Honda claimed that the engine problems were due to the installation of the aftermarket devices and that, consequently, Honda was not responsible for the Carranzas’ problems.
RESULT: Purchase price refunded.
