Lemon Law
Protecting Consumers from Defective Vehicles
When you purchase or lease a new or certified pre-owned vehicle, you expect it to be safe, reliable, and free from defects. Unfortunately, some vehicles turn out to be lemons—cars with persistent mechanical issues that manufacturers fail to fix. If your vehicle has been in and out of the shop for repeated repairs, you may have the right to a replacement, a refund, or financial compensation under California’s Lemon Law.
At Pyramid Legal, we help consumers fight against auto manufacturers and dealerships, ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve for their defective vehicles.

How a Pasadena Lemon Law Attorney Can Help Protect Your Rights
California’s Lemon Law (Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act) protects buyers and lessees of defective vehicles. If a manufacturer cannot repair a substantial defect after a reasonable number of attempts, they are legally required to:
✔ Replace the vehicle with a working one
✔ Refund the purchase price, including fees and taxes
✔ Compensate you for repair costs, towing, and rental car expenses
Even if the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge the defect, Pyramid Legal is ready to fight for your rights.
Does Your Vehicle Qualify Under Lemon Law?
Your car may be considered a lemon if:
- It has a significant defect that affects safety, value, or performance.
- The manufacturer has attempted multiple repairs but failed to fix the issue.
- It has been in the repair shop for an extended period within the warranty period.
- You purchased or leased it from a dealer in California.
If you’re unsure whether your car qualifies, our legal team can review your case and help you determine your rights.
