The statute

When a warranty problem becomes a lemon

These are the presumptions in the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and the Tanner Consumer Protection Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1793.22). Each applies when the defect is first reported, and the vehicle is presented for warranty repair, within 18 months of delivery or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. They are presumptions, not predictions about any individual vehicle.

Two or more attempts (safety)

For a defect that could cause death or serious injury, reported within 18 months or 18,000 miles.

Four or more attempts

For the same non-safety warranty problem, reported within 18 months or 18,000 miles.

30 days out of service

Cumulative, for warranty repair, within 18 months or 18,000 miles.
