Your Accord 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.

Honda Accord Lemon Law FAQ
My 2021 Accord's 10-speed automatic keeps jerking and slamming between gears. How many repair attempts do I need before filing a California lemon law claim?
Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, the lemon law presumption typically arises after two or more repair attempts for the same substantial defect. However, you do not need to wait for any specific number of attempts if the defect creates a serious safety hazard. Document each visit with a detailed repair order describing the harsh shifting, and request that Honda's Technical Service Bulletins related to the 10-speed transmission be applied.
Honda updated the transmission software on my Accord but the shifting problems came back within a week. Does this count as a failed repair attempt?
Yes, a software update or reflash that fails to resolve the transmission issue counts as a repair attempt under California lemon law. The Song-Beverly Act does not distinguish between software calibrations and physical part replacements when evaluating repair attempts. If the problem returns after the update, bring it back promptly and ensure the dealer documents both the repair and the recurrence of the symptoms.
Can I claim lemon law on my Honda Accord if the phantom braking from Honda Sensing is dangerous but the dealer says they cannot replicate the issue?
A dealer's inability to replicate a defect does not eliminate your lemon law rights under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. If phantom braking substantially impairs safety, each visit where you present the vehicle for this complaint counts as a repair attempt even if the dealer finds no fault. Consider using a dashcam to capture the events and keep a written log of every occurrence with dates, times, and road conditions to strengthen your case.
I leased my 2023 Honda Accord and it has ongoing engine problems. Does California lemon law cover leased vehicles?
Yes, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act fully covers leased vehicles in California. As the lessee, you are considered the buyer for purposes of the lemon law, and you are entitled to the same remedies including a replacement vehicle or a refund of all lease payments made. Honda, as the manufacturer, bears the obligation to repurchase or replace the vehicle, and the leasing company will be involved in the refund process to unwind the lease agreement.
