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.

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 Maverick Lemon Law FAQ
My Maverick Hybrid stalls randomly when switching between electric and gas modes. Is this covered under California Lemon Law?
Random stalling is one of the most clear-cut safety defects recognized under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. A vehicle that stalls unexpectedly in traffic poses an imminent risk of collision, and California law requires only two repair attempts for such safety defects. Document the specific driving conditions when each stall occurs and report every incident to the dealer immediately. If you have a dashcam, the footage can serve as valuable evidence for your lemon law case.
The CVT in my Maverick is making a whining noise and Ford says it needs a new transmission. Is one major repair enough for a lemon law claim?
A single transmission replacement alone may not meet the lemon law presumption, but it is significant evidence of a substantial defect. Under the Song-Beverly Act, if the replacement transmission develops the same whining noise or other issues, the second repair attempt strengthens your case considerably. Additionally, if the vehicle was out of service for an extended period waiting for the CVT replacement, those days count toward the 30-day out-of-service threshold. Keep the vehicle under factory warranty and report any recurrence immediately.
My Maverick has hidden bed rust that I only discovered when removing the bedliner. Is this a lemon law defect?
Premature corrosion caused by a manufacturing defect in the bed panel seams is covered under the Song-Beverly Act if it occurs within the warranty period and substantially impairs the vehicle's value. Rust-through on a relatively new truck significantly diminishes resale value and structural integrity. Take photographs before and after removing the bedliner, and have the dealer document the corrosion in a repair order. Ford's corrosion warranty typically covers perforation rust, and failure to remedy it supports a lemon law claim.
I bought my Maverick from a private party but it still has factory warranty remaining. Can I file a lemon law claim in California?
Yes, California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act extends protection to subsequent purchasers as long as the manufacturer's original warranty is still in effect. You do not need to be the original buyer to file a lemon law claim. Gather all prior service records, as repair attempts by the previous owner count toward the lemon law presumption. Register the vehicle under your name with Ford and ensure the warranty transfer is documented before taking it to the dealer for repairs.
