A quick eligibility check

Your Savana 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.

What clients say

“I had an excellent experience working with this lawyer. They were incredibly prompt with every response, which made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. I always felt heard, and they were genuinely helpful in making sure my needs were met every step of the way. What stood out most was how kind and approachable they were—never intimidating, always willing to explain things clearly and patiently.”

“I had a great experience working with Lion Lemon on my car lemon case. My vehicle had ongoing issues that the dealership couldn't fix, and I felt completely stuck before finding them. They explained the California lemon law process clearly, handled communication with the manufacturer, and kept everything moving without stress on my end. If you're dealing with a defective car, warranty issues, or a buyback situation, I highly recommend Lion Lemon.”

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 GMC Savana Problems

The 6.6L L8T gasoline V8 engine develops excessive valve train noise and hydraulic lifter tick on cold starts due to low oil pressure from a worn oil pump pressure relief valve and degraded oil pickup tube O-ring seal.

The 6L90 six-speed automatic transmission exhibits harsh 2-3 and 4-5 upshifts and premature wear of the 3-5-reverse clutch pack, often traced to a sticking pressure regulator valve in the valve body.

The rear axle pinion seal and wheel seals leak gear oil onto the rear brake linings, contaminating the brake shoes and causing a noticeable pull to one side during braking and reduced stopping power.

The engine wiring harness routed above the exhaust manifold suffers heat-related insulation breakdown, causing intermittent shorts and misfires on cylinders 6 and 8 with codes P0306 and P0308.

The HVAC blend door actuator in the dash housing fails in the full-heat position, delivering maximum heat regardless of temperature setting, caused by a stripped nylon gear inside the actuator motor assembly.

Your California Lemon Law Rights

Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your GMC Savana 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

GMC Savana Lemon Law FAQ

Does the California Lemon Law cover commercial GMC Savana vans?

The Song-Beverly Act primarily covers vehicles bought or leased for personal, family, or household purposes. However, if your Savana is also used for personal transportation or has a GVWR under 10,000 pounds, you may still qualify. California courts have sometimes extended protection to dual-use vehicles, so consulting a lemon law attorney to analyze your specific ownership and usage circumstances is recommended.

My Savana's 6L90 transmission has failed twice and the brakes pull to one side. Can I combine these defects in a single Lemon Law claim?

Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Act, you can aggregate multiple nonconformities in a single lemon law claim. If your Savana has multiple unresolved warranty defects, even if no single defect independently meets the repair-attempt threshold, the combined out-of-service time may exceed 30 days. Presenting all documented defects together strengthens your overall case for a buyback or replacement.

Is GMC required to provide a loaner vehicle while my Savana is being repaired under warranty in California?

California law does not require the manufacturer to provide a loaner vehicle during warranty repairs. However, if your Savana qualifies as a lemon and you are awarded a buyback, you can recover incidental damages including rental vehicle costs you incurred while the vehicle was in the shop. Some dealers voluntarily offer loaners as a goodwill measure, but it is not a legal obligation under the Song-Beverly Act.

What is the mileage offset formula for a Savana Lemon Law buyback in California?

The mileage offset is calculated by dividing the mileage at the time of your first warranty repair attempt for the defect by 120,000, then multiplying that fraction by the total purchase price. For example, if your Savana had 15,000 miles at the first repair and cost $45,000, the offset would be $5,625. This amount is deducted from your total refund, and all mileage accumulated after the first repair attempt is not counted against you.
