A quick eligibility check
Your F-150 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.

Ford F-150 Lemon Law FAQ
My F-150's 10-speed transmission shudders repeatedly. Does this qualify under California Lemon Law?
Yes, persistent transmission shudder in the F-150's 10R80 is a substantial impairment of use and safety. Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if Ford has made two or more repair attempts for the same transmission defect or your truck has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days, you likely qualify for a repurchase or replacement. Document every dealer visit and keep all repair orders referencing the transmission concern.
Ford says the EcoBoost engine carbon buildup in my F-150 is due to normal wear. Can I still file a lemon law claim?
Carbon buildup causing misfires and power loss within the warranty period is not normal wear and tear. Under California's Song-Beverly Act, the manufacturer must repair defects that substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety. If the walnut blasting or intake valve cleaning Ford performed did not resolve the issue, each failed attempt counts toward your lemon law claim. Retain documentation showing the recurring nature of the problem.
How many times does the F-150's infotainment system need to fail before I have a lemon law case in California?
California's Song-Beverly Act generally presumes a vehicle is a lemon after two or more repair attempts for the same defect, or after 30 cumulative days out of service. Repeated SYNC 4 failures that impair your ability to use navigation, backup camera, or hands-free calling can constitute a substantial defect. Keep records of every dealer visit, software update attempted, and any loaner vehicle provided during repairs.
My leased 2023 F-150 has a recurring parking brake defect. Am I covered under California Lemon Law even though I lease?
Yes, California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies equally to leased vehicles. A recurring electronic parking brake failure is a serious safety defect that substantially impairs the vehicle's use and safety. You are entitled to the same remedies as a purchaser, including a refund of lease payments or a replacement vehicle. Contact a California lemon law attorney, as the manufacturer is required to pay your attorney fees if your claim is successful.
