Acura MDX Lemon Law

Yes, the California Lemon Law (Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act) protects you if your MDX has a substantial transmission defect that the dealer cannot fix after a reasonable number of repair attempts. Typically, two or more attempts for a serious safety defect or four or more attempts for the same non-safety issue may qualify. You may be entitled to a refund or replacement vehicle.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, there is no single magic number, but general guidelines suggest two or more repairs for a safety-related defect or four or more for the same recurring problem. Additionally, if your MDX has been out of service for more than 30 cumulative days for warranty repairs, it may also qualify. An experienced lemon law attorney can evaluate the strength of your specific case.

Absolutely. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act covers both purchased and leased vehicles in California. As the lessee, you have the same rights to a refund of your lease payments or a replacement vehicle if the MDX has a substantial defect the dealer cannot repair. The manufacturer is obligated to honor the warranty regardless of whether you own or lease.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, you may receive a full refund of the purchase price including taxes, registration fees, and monthly payments, minus a reasonable mileage offset. Alternatively, you can receive a replacement vehicle of comparable value. The manufacturer may also be required to pay your attorney fees and costs, so most lemon law attorneys handle these cases on a contingency basis.
