A quick eligibility check

Your Charger 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 Dodge Charger Problems

The HEMI 5.7L V8 engine experiences premature camshaft and lifter failure caused by the Multi-Displacement System's cylinder deactivation feature, often requiring a complete engine rebuild.
The ZF 8-speed automatic transmission develops persistent torque converter shudder and harsh 2-3 upshifts due to premature clutch pack wear and contaminated transmission fluid.
The Uconnect 8.4-inch infotainment system freezes, reboots randomly, and loses connectivity, disabling essential features like the backup camera and climate controls during driving.
The HEMI 6.4L V8 engine in SRT models suffers from excessive oil consumption, burning more than one quart per 1,000 miles due to inadequate piston ring sealing.
The electric power steering rack develops premature internal wear, causing a persistent pull to one side and requiring constant steering correction at highway speeds.

Your California Lemon Law Rights

Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your Dodge Charger 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

Dodge Charger Lemon Law FAQ

My Dodge Charger has persistent HEMI engine lifter problems. Does this qualify under the California Lemon Law?

Yes. HEMI lifter and camshaft failures are substantial defects that impair your Charger's use and safety. Under the Song-Beverly Act, if Dodge has been unable to repair this issue after a reasonable number of warranty attempts, you are entitled to a refund or replacement vehicle.

Can I file a Lemon Law claim for my Dodge Charger's ZF 8-speed transmission shudder?

Transmission shudder that affects drivability is a substantial defect under California's Song-Beverly Act. If the dealer has attempted to fix the ZF 8-speed transmission issue multiple times through fluid changes, software updates, or component replacements without resolving it, you likely have a valid Lemon Law claim.

Does the California Lemon Law cover performance models like the Charger SRT?

Yes. The Song-Beverly Act applies to all new vehicles sold with a manufacturer's warranty in California, including high-performance models like the Charger SRT. The HEMI 6.4L engine and its associated components are fully covered, and defects in these systems qualify for Lemon Law protection.

What should I do first if I think my Dodge Charger is a lemon?

Start by taking your Charger to an authorized Dodge dealer for warranty repairs and ensure every visit is documented with detailed repair orders. Keep copies of all service records, correspondence with the dealer, and a personal log of symptoms. Once you have evidence of repeated failed repair attempts, consult a California Lemon Law attorney for a case evaluation.
