Does my KIA qualify as a Lemon under the California Lemon Law?
The following must apply, in order for your car to be considered a lemon:
• The identifiable defect (and subsequent complaint) must have first occurred while the vehicle was under the manufacturer’s warranty;
• The defect must substantially impact the safety, use, or value of the vehicle which a qualified lemon lawyer can easily identify;
• You must have provided the dealership a reasonable opportunity to fix the defect. A reasonable opportunity may be as little as two repair attempts if the defect can foreseeably cause serious bodily injury or death. A qualified lemon lawyer can evaluate your file to determine this criteria based on the totality of the facts/circumstances unique to each case.
