The retail purchase of a motor vehicle in California is strongly regulated by two laws to protect you from warranty breaches and any automotive dealer that commits fraud. The California Lemon Law, California Civil Code § 1793.2 et seq., is in place to protect vehicle buyers by enforcing the manufacturer warranty, extended warranty and/or dealer warranty. The Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), California Civil Code §§ 1750 et seq., protects auto consumers from fraud committed by a vehicle manufacturer or car dealer.
