Does an Mercedes-Benz Qualify Under California Lemon Law?

Your Mercedes-Benz may qualify under California Lemon Law if it was purchased or leased with a manufacturer’s warranty and develops a substantial defect that the manufacturer or an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership cannot successfully repair.

Eligible vehicles may include:

New Mercedes-Benz vehicles
Leased Mercedes-Benz vehicles
Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz vehicles still covered by the original factory warranty
Certain used Mercedes-Benz vehicles that remain under the manufacturer’s warranty

A qualifying defect does not have to make the vehicle completely inoperable. If it substantially affects the vehicle’s safety, use, reliability, or value, it may qualify under California Lemon Law.
