Mitsubishi Lemon Law in California 

When you purchase a new Mitsubishi, it will come with a manufacturer’s warranty. The warranty will protect your vehicle for certain types of repairs if you request them within a specified time frame. As long as your vehicle is repaired under that warranty, it will be covered under California’s lemon law. The lemon law covers all car makes and models of vehicles sold in California, including the following Mitsubishi models:

• Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
•  Mitsubishi Endeavor
•  Mitsubishi Lancer
•  Mitsubishi Mirage
•  Mitsubishi Mirage G4
•  Mitsubishi Montero
•  Mitsubishi Outlander
•  Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
•  Mitsubishi I-MiEV

Is My Mitsubishi Defective?

The best way to determine whether your Mitsubishi is a lemon or not is to discuss your case with one of the skilled lemon law attorneys at Wirtz Law. We will evaluate your case and help you understand whether you qualify for compensation under California’s lemon law. To qualify for protection under the lemon law, you will need to answer yes to one or more of the following questions:

• Have you taken your vehicle in at least two times for repairs under warranty?
• Did any repair take more than 30 days?
• Is your Mitsubishi still experiencing defects
• Do the defects substantially impair your use, value, or safety of the vehicle?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you may be qualified for compensation. Even if your Mitsubishi is not currently under warranty, or you have sold, traded in, or ended your lease, you may still be entitled to compensation if you took it to the repair shop two or more times while it was under warranty. California’s lemon law applies to new, leased, and owned Mitsubishis.

Getting a Buyback or a Replacement of Your Mitsubishi

When your Mitsubishi is a lemon under California’s lemon law, Mitsubishi must replace or buy back your lemon from you at your election. You may choose to require Mitsubishi to replace your vehicle with the same or similar model that is not a lemon. Alternatively, you may decide to require Mitsubishi to buy back your vehicle so you can purchase another vehicle. 

If there is evidence that Mitsubishi willfully violated California law, you will be entitled to additional civil damages in the amount of twice your actual damages. Our experienced lemon law attorneys can frequently secure additional civil damages and attorney’s fees and costs on behalf of our clients. 

Working with an attorney with trial experience who understands California’s lemon law is crucial. Mitsubishi dealerships will often try to deny that there is a substantial impairment to deny offering the customer a buyback or a placement. The attorneys at Wirtz Law have a proven track record of fighting on behalf of clients to hold auto manufacturers like Mitsubishi accountable.
