A quick eligibility check
Your Tipo 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.

Fiat Tipo Lemon Law FAQ
Is my Fiat Tipo covered under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act?
Yes. If your Fiat Tipo was purchased or leased with a manufacturer warranty in California, it qualifies for protection under Song-Beverly. This applies to all engine and transmission configurations offered on the Tipo.
Can dual-clutch transmission problems in my Tipo support a lemon law claim?
Yes. Jerky operation, harsh engagement, and clutch failures in the DDCT transmission are substantial defects under Song-Beverly. If the dealer has attempted multiple repairs without resolving the problem, your Tipo likely qualifies as a lemon.
How does Song-Beverly define a reasonable number of repair attempts for my Tipo?
Song-Beverly presumes a vehicle is a lemon after four attempts for the same defect, two attempts for a safety defect, or 30 cumulative days out of service. However, fewer attempts may still be sufficient depending on the severity of the defect.
Can I pursue a lemon law claim if I purchased my Tipo used?
If your used Tipo came with a remaining manufacturer warranty or a dealer-provided warranty, you may have Song-Beverly protection. Certified pre-owned vehicles with manufacturer warranties are covered the same as new vehicles.
