Dealerships must be given a reasonable number of opportunities to repair a defect. The law does not require a certain number of times, but normally follows these guidelines: An unrepaired defect qualifies after four visits. However, if the defect presents a safety issue that may cause an accident, injury, or death, then two attempts may suffice. Also, if a vehicle spends a total of over 30 days being repaired, then it may satisfy the requirements of California Lemon Law. Because of the flexibility of the California Lemon Law, it’s important to work with professionals who understand all the intricacies of your case.
