Your NSX may qualify if…

These are common indicators under California's Song-Beverly Act. An attorney reviews the full repair and warranty history before determining whether the firm can take a case.

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.

The defect continues and substantially affects the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

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.

Common Acura NSX Problems

The C35Y twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 engine in the NSX develops cracked exhaust manifolds due to extreme heat cycling, causing exhaust leaks that trigger check engine lights and produce a ticking noise under acceleration.
The 9-speed dual-clutch transmission in the NSX exhibits grinding during high-RPM upshifts from 2nd to 3rd gear, caused by premature synchronizer wear that worsens with track use and requires a full transmission rebuild.
The front electric motor units in the NSX Sport Hybrid system experience inverter failures that disable the torque vectoring capability, leaving the vehicle in rear-wheel-drive-only mode with significantly reduced handling performance.
The NSX dry-sump oil system develops persistent oil starvation issues during sustained high-G cornering, triggering low oil pressure warnings and causing premature wear to the C35Y engine main bearings.
The active magnetorheological damper system on the NSX leaks fluid from the shock body seals prematurely, resulting in degraded ride quality and handling characteristics that require replacement of all four damper units.

Your California Lemon Law Rights

Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your Acura NSX has a substantial defect that cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to:

  • Full refund of the purchase price
  • Replacement vehicle of comparable value
  • Cash compensation (cash-and-keep settlement)
  • Attorney's fees paid by the manufacturer

Acura NSX Lemon Law FAQ

Does California Lemon Law apply to high-performance vehicles like the Acura NSX?

Yes, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies equally to all new vehicles sold with a manufacturer warranty in California, regardless of price or performance class. The Acura NSX is fully covered, and defects in the hybrid drivetrain, transmission, or engine qualify just as they would in any other vehicle. The high purchase price of the NSX can actually result in a larger refund or settlement.

I use my NSX on the track occasionally. Will that void my lemon law claim?

Track use does not automatically void your lemon law rights under the Song-Beverly Act, but the manufacturer may argue that track use caused or contributed to the defect. If the defect is a design or manufacturing flaw unrelated to track conditions, your claim remains valid. Maintaining detailed records of your driving history and having an independent expert evaluate the defect can help counter any such arguments.

My NSX has been at the dealer for weeks waiting for parts. Does time in the shop count toward lemon law?

Yes, under the Song-Beverly Act, days your NSX spends at the dealer for warranty repairs count toward the 30-day out-of-service threshold, even if the dealer is waiting for parts. The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring parts availability to complete warranty repairs in a timely manner. Extended delays due to parts shortages strengthen rather than weaken your lemon law claim.

Can I pursue a lemon law claim for multiple different defects in my NSX?

Absolutely. Under the Song-Beverly Act, multiple distinct defects can be aggregated to support a lemon law claim, even if no single defect individually meets the repair attempt threshold. If your NSX has several unresolved warranty issues that collectively impair its safety, value, or use, the combination strengthens your case. Each defect and repair attempt should be separately documented.
