Van Nuys Lemon Law Attorney

Lemon Law Help for Van Nuys Drivers

The Van Nuys Boulevard auto mile is one of the highest-volume car sales corridors in the San Fernando Valley. We regularly handle claims for Valley owners whose warranty repairs never stuck.

California's Lemon Law, formally the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, applies to any new or certified pre-owned vehicle still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If the same substantial defect keeps coming back after a reasonable number of repair attempts, the manufacturer must either buy the vehicle back or replace it. Where you bought the car does not limit your rights, and you do not have to keep returning to the same Van Nuys dealership before you act.

Does Your Vehicle Qualify?

Most Van Nuys clients who qualify can answer yes to several of these:

• The vehicle is a 2022 or newer model still under the manufacturer's warranty
• The same defect has been back to the dealer two or more times
• The vehicle has been out of service for repairs for 30 days or more in total
• The defect affects safety, drivability, or the value of the vehicle
• The dealer has told you the behavior is “normal” or cannot reproduce it

Common Defects We See in Van Nuys

Claims from Van Nuys owners most often involve Nissan, Chevrolet, RAM, and Ford. The recurring patterns are transmission and drivetrain failures, engine stalling, electrical and infotainment faults, EV battery and charging defects, and advanced driver assistance systems that trigger false warnings.

What a Van Nuys Buyback Is Worth

A successful buyback returns what you actually put into the vehicle: your down payment, every monthly payment made, sales tax, registration, and finance charges. The manufacturer subtracts only a statutory mileage offset based on the miles you drove before the first repair attempt for the defect. Our buyback estimator walks through the math.
