Big Changes to California’s Lemon Law – What Used Car Buyers Need to Know

Los Angeles, California – With a recent ruling by the California Supreme Court, California’s lemon law has significantly shifted. The decision in Rodriguez v. FCA restricts lemon law protections for used cars, leaving many buyers questioning their rights. California Consumer Attorneys, P.C. (CCA), a leading advocate for consumer rights, is prepared to address these changes and assist affected buyers in exploring alternative legal options. 

The recent ruling clarifies that used vehicles with an unexpired manufacturer’s warranty are no longer eligible for lemon law remedies unless the new car warranty was issued at the time of sale, such as for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles. This decision limits the scope of the lemon law, shifting the burden to used car buyers to evaluate warranty terms and conditions carefully. 

“Our mission is to protect consumers, especially in the face of evolving laws,” said Sepehr Daghighian, partner of CCA. “While the recent changes limit lemon law protections for used cars, there are still legal options available to those dealing with defective vehicles. We’re here to ensure that every consumer understands their rights and remedies with this recent update to California’s lemon law.” 

CCA is prepared to help consumers navigate the complexities of the recent ruling and determine alternative legal options. Whether it’s evaluating potential claims under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or other consumer protection statutes, CCA is dedicated to providing the guidance consumers need. 

We encourage used car buyers to act quickly if they are experiencing recurring vehicle issues. Receiving timely legal advice can significantly improve the preservation of potential remedies under existing warranties or alternative laws.
