A quick eligibility check

Your A4 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 Audi A4 Problems

Excessive oil consumption in the 2.0T TFSI (EA888 Gen 2) engine due to defective piston ring design, often consuming one quart or more every 1,000 miles and triggering low oil level warnings.
DSG (DL501) 7-speed S-tronic transmission mechatronic unit failure causing limp mode activation, erratic gear selection, and sudden loss of power during highway driving.
Carbon buildup on intake valves of the direct-injection EA888 engine causing rough idle, misfires, and reduced power output, requiring costly walnut shell blasting to restore proper engine performance.
Premature failure of the water pump and thermostat housing assembly causing coolant leaks onto the engine block, leading to overheating conditions and potential head gasket damage if not caught early.
Driver assistance system (adaptive cruise control and lane departure) radar sensor calibration failures behind the front grille, triggered by minor impacts or temperature cycling, resulting in persistent warning messages.

Your California Lemon Law Rights

Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your Audi A4 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

Audi A4 Lemon Law FAQ

Does the California Lemon Law cover my Audi A4 for recurring oil consumption issues?

Yes, excessive oil consumption that substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of your A4 can qualify as a defect under the Song-Beverly Act. If Audi or the dealer has been unable to fix the problem after a reasonable number of repair attempts during the warranty period, you may have a valid lemon law claim.

Can I get a refund for my leased Audi A4 under California Lemon Law?

Yes, the Song-Beverly Act covers leased vehicles. If your leased A4 qualifies as a lemon, you are entitled to a refund of all lease payments made, including the down payment and any fees paid at signing. The leasing company and manufacturer share the obligation to make you whole.

What qualifies as a substantial impairment for my A4 under Song-Beverly?

A substantial impairment is any defect that significantly affects the use, value, or safety of your Audi A4. This includes safety-related issues like brake failures or engine stalling, as well as persistent problems like transmission malfunctions, electrical failures, or oil consumption that diminish the vehicle's reliability and resale value.

Will Audi pay my attorney fees if I win a lemon law case for my A4?

Yes, under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if you prevail in your lemon law claim, the manufacturer is required to pay your reasonable attorney fees and costs. This provision allows consumers to retain experienced lemon law attorneys without paying upfront legal fees.
