Common Defects and Malfunctions in Lemons
A defect may be considered any type of fault with the design or manufacturing (or even marketing or sale) of a vehicle, which negatively impacts its safety, function, or value. Some defects can lead to serious accidents, and others can affect the crash-worthiness of a vehicle and how well its occupants are protected in the event of a collision. If any defect is present, it can have serious consequences.
Your car may be a lemon under California lemon law if it has any of the following defects:
- Unintentional acceleration

If your vehicle has a defect and you have tried to have it repaired multiple times to no avail, you may have a lemon on your hands. It takes a skilled attorney who has the work ethic and ability to help you get fair compensation for your losses.

If litigation becomes necessary, your claim will typically be filed in the appropriate Los Angeles County court. At The Bravo Law Firm, APC, we are ready to represent you at every stage of the legal process, preparing detailed demand letters, negotiating firmly with the opposition, and advocating for you in court if needed. Our Lemon Law attorneys explain your options and keep you informed, so you understand the implications of each step and can confidently proceed with the best approach for your unique situation in Los Angeles.

The duration of a Lemon Law case in Los Angeles County depends on the situation’s complexity, the responsiveness of the manufacturer, and how quickly documentation is gathered and submitted. Many straightforward claims are resolved within a few months, particularly when negotiations are conducted directly with the manufacturer. If your case requires mediation, arbitration, or must be filed in Los Angeles County courts, it could take six months or longer. By partnering with The Bravo Law Firm, APC, you benefit from proactive, organized representation focused on advancing your case efficiently and clearly communicating next steps so you can make informed decisions at every phase of the process.
