Does an Ram Qualify Under California Lemon Law?

Your Ram 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 Ram dealership cannot successfully repair.

Eligible vehicles may include:

New Ram vehicles
Leased Ram vehicles
Certified Pre-Owned Ram vehicles still covered by the original factory warranty
