A quick eligibility check
Your Challenger 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.

Dodge Challenger Lemon Law FAQ
I bought my Dodge Challenger as a weekend car. Does low mileage affect my Lemon Law claim?
No. The Song-Beverly Act does not require a minimum mileage threshold for a valid Lemon Law claim. What matters is that the defect arose during the warranty period and the manufacturer failed to repair it after a reasonable number of attempts, regardless of how many miles you drive.
Can I get a civil penalty on top of my Lemon Law refund for my Challenger?
Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Act, if Dodge willfully refused to repurchase or replace your Challenger despite knowing it was a lemon, the court may award a civil penalty of up to two times your actual damages. Evidence that the manufacturer ignored your complaints or delayed repairs can support a willfulness finding.
Does my Dodge Challenger's exhaust manifold leak qualify as a safety defect under the Lemon Law?
Yes. Exhaust leaks can allow carbon monoxide to enter the cabin through the HVAC system, which is a serious safety hazard. Under the Song-Beverly Act, safety-related defects require only two repair attempts before the Lemon Law presumption applies, giving you a stronger case than with non-safety defects.
What is the mileage offset Dodge can deduct from my Challenger Lemon Law refund?
Under the Song-Beverly Act, the manufacturer may deduct a mileage offset based on the miles driven before you first reported the defect. The formula divides the actual mileage at first repair by 120,000, then multiplies by the purchase price. For example, if you drove 5,000 miles before the first repair on a vehicle costing 45,000 dollars, the offset would be approximately 1,875 dollars.
