We stopped by Good Intentions Coffee on Wilshire to ask a simple question. What is a lemon?
Most people think it just means a bad car. Not wrong, but not the full picture.
A lemon is a defective vehicle that keeps having problems and needs repeated repairs. It can be new or used, and the issues can range from air conditioning failure and transmission problems to electrical issues or windows that stop working.
If you’re going back to the dealership again and again for the same problem and it’s not getting fixed, that’s when lemon law may apply.
The key is getting those repair visits documented and understanding where you stand under California lemon law.
If your car keeps having issues and the problems don’t stop, you can take the 90-second lemon test at the link in bio.
