However, if your new Lotus is costing you more in repairs than what seems fair and having to have mechanical attention all the time, you may have unfortunately invested in a lemon.

Most Common Problems with Lotus Lemons
There have been few reports from Californians about problems with their Lotus lemon. Luxury cars usually do not have as many problems. Nevertheless, if you are the owner of a Lotus model that you are sure is a lemon, you are likely not alone in your frustrations. Take a look at some of the most common complaints from Lotus owners:
- Steering rack wears out quickly
- Undertray comes loose from the car
- Easily damaged exterior because of poor body build
California Lemon Law for Lotus
The California Lemon Law for Lotus states that you are entitled to reimbursement of your purchase or an equal exchange for your vehicle if the vehicle has a defect that:
- Impairs the overall value of the vehicle
- Impairs your ability to use the vehicle
- Impairs how safe the vehicle is to use
The California Lemon Law, which is also referred to as the Song-Beverly Act, states that consumers are protected if they have invested in a lemon vehicle. Upon filing a claim because you have a Lotus lemon, the manufacturer will have to either purchase the vehicle back from you or offer you a replacement.
Therefore, you do not have to be stuck with a lemon that you've purchased or leased that does not perform as expected. The lemon law applies if your vehicle was purchased or leased as brand new and is still under the manufacturer's warranty.
In order to qualify to file a claim under the California Lemon Law, your vehicle should fall under one of the three following criteria, but not always:
- The vehicle has been out of service for 30 days (cumulatively)
- There have been at least four repairs for the same problem or defect
- There have been at least two repairs attempted for a defect in safety that could cause injury or death
These issues must fall within the time frame when the vehicle would still be under a factory warranty.
