You bought or leased the vehicle in California.
The problem arose while a manufacturer warranty covered the vehicle.
The dealer has had repeated repair opportunities, or the vehicle has spent significant time in the shop.

Why a warranty isn't enough
Your warranty vs. the lemon law
A warranty is a promise to attempt repairs. The lemon law is what protects you when those repairs never stick.
The manufacturer's warranty
- The manufacturer decides which repairs to attempt.
- It only obligates them to keep trying — not to actually fix the problem.
- When the warranty ends, the manufacturer's repair obligation ends.
California's lemon law
- Kicks in when repeated repairs don't fix a substantial defect.
- Can require a refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement.
- Your legal claim can survive after the warranty ends — if the defect was reported while it was in force.
- When you win, the manufacturer pays your attorney fees — not you.

Acura ILX Lemon Law FAQ
Is the 8DCT transmission shudder in my Acura ILX a qualifying defect under California Lemon Law?
Yes, the 8DCT dual-clutch transmission shudder in the ILX is a well-documented defect that can qualify under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. This issue affects the drivability and safety of the vehicle, and if multiple repair attempts including software updates have not resolved it, your ILX may be a lemon. Many ILX owners have successfully pursued lemon law claims for this exact issue.
The dealer keeps saying my ILX oil consumption is normal. What are my options?
Under the Song-Beverly Act, a manufacturer cannot avoid liability by claiming a known defect is within normal specifications. If your ILX is consuming excessive oil, request that the dealer perform an official oil consumption test and document the results on each repair order. If consumption exceeds one quart per 1,000 miles and the dealer cannot fix it, you may have a valid lemon law claim.
My Acura ILX warranty just expired but the defect started while it was under warranty. Can I still file?
Yes, if the defect in your ILX first manifested and was reported to the dealer during the warranty period, you can still pursue a lemon law claim under the Song-Beverly Act even after the warranty has expired. The critical factor is that the defect originated and was presented for repair while the warranty was active. Repair records with dates within the warranty period are essential evidence.
What counts as a reasonable number of repair attempts for my ILX under California law?
California courts generally consider two repair attempts reasonable for a safety-related defect such as transmission failure or steering loss, and four attempts for other substantial defects. Additionally, if your ILX has been out of service for a cumulative total of 30 or more days for warranty repairs, that alone may qualify it as a lemon. Each situation is evaluated on its own facts and circumstances.
