Which SUVs Are Protected Under the Lemon Law?
The California Lemon Law covers both new and certain used SUVs, as long as the issues begin during the warranty period. Most makes and models qualify, whether they’re compact crossovers or full-size sport utility vehicles. Examples include:
- Family-friendly crossovers like the Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V
- Larger SUVs like the Chevy Tahoe or Ford Explorer
- Hybrid and electric models like the Tesla Model Y or the Hyundai Ioniq 5
- Certified pre-owned SUVs that come with a manufacturer-backed warranty
The key factor is whether the SUV was purchased or leased with a warranty from the automaker. If it was, and it has a persistent problem affecting its safety or use, the law may entitle you to relief.
Common SUV Problems That May Qualify
SUVs face unique performance demands. Some are built for long road trips, while others need to handle rough terrain. No matter the purpose, they’re expected to be dependable. If your SUV keeps breaking down, or the same issue keeps returning, it may meet the legal definition of a “lemon.”
Examples of qualifying problems include:
- Brake or steering failure
- Engine overheating or stalling
- Electrical malfunctions affecting lights, doors, or navigation
- Faulty transmission or gear shifting
- Leaks, rattles, or other recurring mechanical defects
The manufacturer must be given a reasonable number of attempts to fix the problem. If they fail, you may be eligible for compensation such as a refund or replacement vehicle.
