Is Your Acura a Lemon?
If you think your new Acura is a lemon, the good news is that there are laws to protect you. But, how do you know if your Acura fits the definition of a lemon under California law? Your first clue might be if you've just bought your Acura, and it is already spending more time in the shop than with you. A car that breaks down or has other mechanical issues right from the beginning that have nothing to do with what you've done to the car or how you are driving it may indeed fall under the lemon law of California.
If you live in California and believe your Acura may be a lemon, contact us to get your free case evaluation right away. Don't delay. You don't want to let the statute of limitations pass for bringing a case, and lose your opportunity to get the compensation you deserve.

Common Problems with Lemon Acura Models
While your Acura could fall under the lemon law for a variety of different reasons, the most common complaints about Acura models that have brought lemon law cases against the manufacturer and/or dealer include:
- Unusual noise or vibrations at the wheels, suspension, or steering column.
- Dash lights being lit up all the time, usually the battery and/or oil lights.
- Electrical issues with the AC, horn, entertainment components, and heated seating.
- Leaking of water and/or oil. Using too much oil too quickly, which can mean more frequent than usual oil changes being required.
- Transmission issues.
- Issues with starting the car.
What Does the California Lemon Law Say?
The California lemon law applies to purchased or leased new cars that have an active Manufacturer warranty. If your new Acura has a Manufacturer warranty, it is likely covered under the lemon law in California.
Lemon cars are considered to be those that have substantial defects that negatively impact the safety, use, and/or value of the car. Also, your car must have experienced one of the following three things since you purchased or leased it:
- Being repaired four or more times for the same issue that started while it was under warranty.
- Being repaired twice for a safety defect that could potentially be dangerous, life-threatening, or likely to cause bodily harm while under warranty.
- Being broken down and unable to be used for thirty cumulative (not consecutive) days while under warranty.
If your Acura meets one of the above repair circumstances, as well as the other conditions listed above, it is a lemon covered under the protection of the lemon law of California.
