Lemon Law Attorney in Pasadena
Recurring Defects Require a Warranty & Repair-History Review
If you live in Pasadena and your vehicle keeps returning to the dealership for the same unresolved issue, our lemon law attorneys can review the warranty coverage, repair history, downtime, and reported defect before you decide what to do next. California lemon law can apply when a warranty-covered defect substantially impairs a vehicle’s use, value, or safety and remains unresolved after a reasonable number of repair opportunities. At Khachikyan Law Firm - Lemon Busters, we represent clients throughout California.
Whether new, leased, or used under warranty, a gasoline, hybrid, or electric vehicle may warrant review when the manufacturer hasn’t repaired a covered problem. Depending on the facts, available remedies may include a vehicle repurchase, replacement vehicle, cash settlement, reimbursement of qualifying expenses, or civil penalties for a willful violation of applicable warranty obligations. We handle these claims on a contingency basis with no upfront attorney fees.

Common Lemon Law Problems for Pasadena Drivers
Repeated dealership visits can interrupt commuting, family transportation, and work obligations. A defect doesn’t have to leave a vehicle completely inoperable to raise lemon law concerns. What matters is how the warranty-covered condition affects the vehicle’s use, value, or safety, along with the repair opportunities the manufacturer has received.
We review traditional mechanical failures as well as technology-related problems in modern vehicles. This includes electric vehicle battery and charging concerns, software faults, and recurring warning messages that a dealership may not be able to duplicate during a particular visit.
Common lemon law issues we handle include:
- Engine malfunction, stalling, loss of power, or overheating
- Transmission slipping, hesitation, rough shifting, or complete failure
- Electrical system problems, including sensors, onboard modules, or repeated warning messages
- EV battery trouble, such as rapid power loss, charging failures, or reduced range
- Infotainment failures, unresponsive screens, and software errors
- Air conditioning that fails or can’t regulate temperature
- Steering vibration, suspension instability, or brake noise

How California Lemon Law Works
California lemon law protection comes from the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, including California Civil Code Section 1793.22. These provisions address when a manufacturer may be required to repurchase or replace a defective vehicle and what remedies may be available. Warranty coverage, the nature of the defect, repair history, and the vehicle’s time out of service all matter in the analysis.
The reasonable number of repair attempts standard isn’t a fixed number. California’s rebuttable presumption, a legal benchmark that can support but doesn’t automatically decide a claim, may involve repeated repair opportunities for the same problem, serious safety defects, or more than 30 cumulative days out of service when statutory conditions are met. The 18-month or 18,000-mile window is a presumption-related factor, not a universal cutoff for every claim. Defects arising outside that window may still support a claim under the broader express-warranty provisions. We help Pasadena drivers evaluate their vehicle history before committing to a claim, then handle manufacturer communications and organize the documented repair timeline.
Potential Lemon Law Remedies
A qualifying lemon law claim may seek a vehicle repurchase, a replacement vehicle, or a negotiated cash settlement. A repurchase can include amounts paid or payable for the vehicle and qualifying charges, subject to legally permitted deductions such as a mileage offset based on use before the first qualifying repair attempt. Towing, rental transportation, registration charges, taxes, and other defect-related costs may also be recoverable when supported by the facts and applicable law.
California law may allow a civil penalty of up to two times actual damages when the statutory requirements for a willful violation are established. Civil penalties aren’t automatic. We also pursue attorney fees and costs when available under the applicable law, while representing clients on a contingency basis with no upfront attorney fees.
Do You Qualify for Lemon Law Protection?
The core question is whether a warranty-covered defect substantially impairs your vehicle’s use, value, or safety and persists after reasonable repair opportunities. We review the warranty, defect type, repair orders, mileage, days out of service, and vehicle history to determine whether a claim may be viable. A dealership’s statement that a condition is normal or that no defect was found doesn’t by itself end the legal analysis.
Claim deadlines and any manufacturer-specific pre-suit requirements depend on current law and the facts surrounding the vehicle’s warranty and delivery history.
