When you buy a Honda, you expect reliability, comfort, and performance. But even trusted brands can produce defective vehicles. If your Honda continues to experience the same issue despite repeated repairs, you may have more than just a frustrating car—you may have a lemon. At The Lemon Firm, we help Los Angeles drivers understand their rights and pursue compensation when their vehicles fail to meet warranty standards.
Common Problems Reported in Hondas
Honda has earned a solid reputation for building dependable vehicles, but that doesn’t mean every car is free from problems. Over the years, consumers have reported a range of issues across different Honda models, including:
- Transmission slipping or jerking
- Stalling or rough engine performance
- Faulty fuel injectors or oil dilution in CR-V and Civic models
- Electrical system malfunctions or dead batteries
- Infotainment glitches in newer models
In a city like Los Angeles, where drivers rely on their cars every day, even minor issues can cause major disruptions. When the same problem keeps coming back after multiple trips to the dealer, it might be time to consider legal action.
How California’s Lemon Law Applies to Honda Owners
California’s lemon law provides protection for consumers who purchase or lease new or certified used vehicles that are still under the manufacturer’s warranty. If your Honda has a recurring defect that affects its safety, value, or use, and the dealership has had a fair number of attempts to fix it, you may be entitled to relief.
To qualify under California’s lemon law:
- The vehicle must be covered by a manufacturer’s warranty
- The issue must remain after a reasonable number of repair attempts
- Or, the car has spent an extended amount of time in the shop (typically 30 days or more)
The law applies to all types of Hondas, including sedans, SUVs, hybrids, and electric models. Whether you’re driving a Civic, Accord, CR-V, Pilot, or Clarity, repeat problems that impact performance or reliability could meet the legal standard for a lemon. It’s also important to act quickly—claims must generally be brought within four years of the problem first appearing.
What You Could Be Entitled To
If your Honda qualifies as a lemon, you have options. Depending on the situation, the manufacturer may be required to:
- Buy back the vehicle and refund your payments, taxes, and fees
- Provide you with a replacement vehicle
- Cover related costs, such as rental cars, towing, and repair expenses
- Pay your legal fees
You don’t have to go through this process on your own. At The Lemon Firm, we handle every step and make sure the manufacturer plays fair.
