Why San Jose Drivers File Lemon Law Claims
San Jose and Silicon Valley drivers commute daily on Hwy 101, I-280, and I-880 between Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Palo Alto, and Mountain View. Heavy traffic, long high-mileage commutes, and the region's heavy EV adoption surface manufacturing defects faster than most cities — and California's lemon law gives you serious recourse.
Whether you bought a Tesla in Silicon Valley, leased a luxury SUV for the family, or financed a CPO commuter from a Bay Area dealership, California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act has your back. Our team specializes in EV cases (Tesla, Rivian, Lucid) and has recovered millions for San Jose, Bay Area, and Northern California consumers.

What Is Lemon Law in San Jose?
California's lemon law — formally the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act — protects San Jose consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles. If your car can't be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts, the manufacturer must either replace it or refund your money.
The law applies to new and used vehicles still under the original or CPO warranty, including cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and even RVs. It also covers leased vehicles. Best of all, the manufacturer must pay your attorney's fees — meaning real legal representation costs you nothing.
Do You Qualify for a Lemon Law Claim in San Jose?
You may qualify if:
- Your vehicle was purchased or leased in California
- It came with a manufacturer's warranty (new or used CPO)
- It has a substantial defect affecting use, value, or safety
