If your Nissan keeps breaking down despite multiple repairs, you may feel frustrated and unsure of your next steps. A car should be reliable, especially when it’s still under warranty. When repeated trips to the dealership don’t fix the problem, you have rights under California’s Lemon Law.
You don’t have to keep driving a defective vehicle or accept endless excuses from the manufacturer. If your Nissan qualifies as a lemon, you may be entitled to a refund or a replacement. Let’s take a closer look at how to prove your claim.
Does Your Nissan Qualify as a Lemon?
California’s Lemon Law protects consumers when a vehicle has persistent defects that the dealership can’t fix. To qualify, your Nissan must meet specific conditions.
- The defect must be significant – It should impact the car’s use, safety, or value.
- The dealership must have had a fair chance to repair it – Usually, this means:
- At least four repair attempts for the same problem.
- At least two repair attempts if the issue affects safety, like brakes or steering.
- The car is out of service for 30+ days due to repairs.
- The defect must have appeared while under warranty – Problems that start after the warranty expires may not qualify.
Not every issue makes a car a lemon, but if your Nissan meets these conditions, you could be eligible for a refund or replacement. If you’re unsure, we can help review your case.
What Evidence Do You Need?
Proving that your Nissan is a lemon requires solid documentation. The more evidence you have, the stronger your case. Keep track of the following:
- Repair orders and invoices—Request a detailed repair order and invoice every time you take your car to the dealership. These documents should list your complaint, the technician’s findings, and the repairs performed.
- Service records – A complete history of your vehicle’s maintenance and repairs can show a pattern of unresolved issues.
- Communication with Nissan or the dealership – Save emails, texts, and voicemails related to your repair attempts.
- Photos and videos – If your car has a visible defect, leaks, or unusual sounds, capturing them can help prove your case.
- Towing and rental car receipts – If your Nissan left you stranded, these expenses may be reimbursable.
Keeping thorough records makes it easier to prove your claim and get the compensation you deserve.
