Does an Lexus Qualify Under California Lemon Law?

Your Lexus may qualify under California Lemon Law if it was purchased or leased with a manufacturer’s warranty and develops a substantial defect that Lexus or an authorized dealership cannot successfully repair after a reasonable number of attempts.

Eligible vehicles may include:

New Lexus vehicles
Leased Lexus vehicles
Certified Pre-Owned Lexus vehicles still covered by the original factory warranty
Certain used Lexus 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.
