Glendale Vehicle Owners: Know Your Warranty Rights
If your vehicle has recurring problems that a manufacturer or dealership won’t properly fix, California law gives you more options than returning for another failed repair. Many owners and lessees assume they must keep accepting incomplete fixes, but when a company fails to honor its warranty obligations, you may have the right to seek a replacement, a buyback, or financial compensation.

How California Law Protects Vehicle Owners
California provides strong protections for vehicle owners and lessees through both warranty law and the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (California Civil Code Sections 1790-1795.8). This law requires manufacturers to honor their warranty terms and provides remedies when they don’t.
What the Song-Beverly Act Requires
When these obligations aren’t met, consumers have the right to pursue legal action against the manufacturer.
Under the Song-Beverly Act, manufacturers must:
- Repair defects covered by the warranty within a reasonable time
- Cover the cost of those repairs
- Provide appropriate remedies if repairs are unsuccessful
Statute of Limitations for Warranty Claims
The statute of limitations for Song-Beverly warranty claims is generally four years, and the accrual date can depend on the circumstances of your claim. Don’t assume you know where you stand without consulting an attorney. If a manufacturer has opted in to California’s AB 1755 fast-track program, a shorter deadline applies: one year after the warranty expires or six years after the vehicle’s original delivery date, whichever comes first. Which timeline applies depends on the manufacturer’s program participation.
Potential Remedies & Compensation
If your warranty has been breached, you may be entitled to compensation or other remedies depending on your situation.
These may include:
- Reimbursement for repair costs
- Compensation for loss of use of the vehicle
- A vehicle buyback that may include the original purchase price, sales tax, registration fees, down payment, and remaining loan or lease balance
- Recovery of incidental expenses, such as towing or rental costs
- Additional damages in cases involving willful violations of the warranty obligation
California law may require the manufacturer to pay the consumer’s attorney’s fees in successful warranty claims, which means you typically pay no out-of-pocket legal costs to pursue your claim. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides an additional layer of protection that may apply alongside Song-Beverly when a written warranty isn’t honored.
Act Now to Protect Your Warranty Claim
Manufacturers and their legal teams are experienced at minimizing payouts. Without representation, you may face delays or refusals to authorize necessary repairs, claims that the issue isn’t covered, incomplete repairs passed off as complete fixes, and pressure to accept less than you may be entitled to. Because one of the applicable deadlines can be as short as one year depending on the manufacturer’s program status, waiting to consult an attorney carries real risk. Acting early lets us preserve key evidence and build a stronger record before those deadlines arrive.
Consultations are free, we’re available 24/7, and there are no upfront costs. If your manufacturer has failed to honor its warranty, contact our Glendale breach of warranty attorneys today.
