Honda Lemon Law Lawyer

American Honda Motor Company is one of the top-selling automakers in the world. Hondas are popular in California because they are cost-effective and reliable in most cases. Honda manufactures over 14 million vehicles a year and has a track record of winning more Indy 500 races than any other manufacturer. With Hondas being so popular and having a successful racing track record, it seems unlikely that Honda would produce lemons. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

Am I Eligible for Protection Under California’s Lemon Law? 

California’s lemon law allows consumers who have purchased a defective or malfunctioning vehicle to force the manufacturer to pay you compensation by buying it back or replacing the vehicle.  Under California’s lemon law, the vehicle owner must show that non-conformities are present. Non-conformities are defects or malfunctions that substantially affect the vehicle and are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. As mentioned above, non-conformities are defects or malfunctions that substantially impair the Honda’s use, value, or safety to a consumer in your situation. 

Qualifying Warranties Under California’s Lemon Law

To qualify under California’s lemon law, you will need to have received a warranty from Honda. If you purchased your vehicle new from a Honda dealership, you will likely have received the full express new vehicle limited warranty.

Filing a Claim Against Honda Under California’s Lemon Law

Our California lemon law attorneys have the resources and experience needed to thoroughly investigate your case and help you seek the remedies you deserve. First, we will determine whether your vehicle had unrepaired defects under the warranty which substantially impact your vehicle’s use, value, or safety, despite Honda having received a reasonable opportunity to make the necessary repairs. Remember that third-party service contracts and extended warranties do not generally impune liability on the manufacturer. Next, we will help you every step of the way to file a lawsuit against Honda. 

Will Honda Buy My Vehicle Back?

Yes, Honda will be required to repurchase your vehicle if you meet all of California’s lemon law guidelines and you desire them to repurchase your vehicle rather than provide you with a replacement vehicle. The requirements for Honda to buy back your vehicle are as follows:

• Possessing an appropriate warranty
• Establishing that your vehicle has unrepaired defects, malfunctions, or non-conformities, and
• Proving that you’ve given Honda a reasonable opportunity to repair the vehicle, which they have failed to do

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

The statute of limitations under California’s lemon law is four years, which usually is measured from the end of the written new car warranty. However, we don’t recommend waiting until the end of the four-year period to reach out to an attorney because the automakers will try to argue it starts to run from when you should have realized you had a lemon. If you believe that you have leased or purchased a Honda that is a lemon, it’s wise to begin collecting copies of your repair orders and reach out to the experienced Honda Lemon Law attorney at Wirtz Law as soon as possible.
