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
If covered problems persist after repair attempts, an attorney can review whether California's lemon law provides a remedy.
The manufacturer's warranty
- Describes which defects and repairs the manufacturer covers.
- Sets coverage terms, including time and mileage limits.
- Your warranty documents and repair orders help establish what happened and when.
California's lemon law
- May provide a remedy when a covered substantial defect remains after a reasonable number of repair attempts.
- A qualifying case may lead to a buyback, a replacement, or a negotiated cash settlement.
- Warranty expiration alone does not settle whether you have a claim. An attorney can review your repair history and deadlines.
- When you win, the manufacturer pays your attorney fees — not you.

- Attorney's fees paid by the manufacturer
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.
