A quick eligibility check
Your CX-5 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.

Mazda CX-5 Lemon Law FAQ
How does California Lemon Law apply to my Mazda CX-5?
Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your CX-5 has a substantial defect that the dealer cannot repair after a reasonable number of attempts during the warranty period, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle or a full refund. California law generally considers two or more repair attempts for a safety-related defect or four or more attempts for other defects as reasonable.
Can I file a Lemon Law claim if my CX-5 transmission keeps slipping?
Yes, recurring transmission problems such as slipping or shuddering in the SkyActiv-Drive 6-speed are considered substantial defects under Song-Beverly. You should document every dealer visit and keep all repair orders. If the dealer has failed to fix the issue after multiple attempts, you likely have a valid Lemon Law claim.
Does the Song-Beverly Act cover my leased Mazda CX-5?
Yes, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act covers both purchased and leased vehicles in California. As a lessee, you are entitled to the same protections, including a refund of lease payments or a replacement vehicle if your CX-5 has a qualifying defect that cannot be repaired.
What compensation can I receive under California Lemon Law for my CX-5?
If your CX-5 qualifies as a lemon, you may receive a full refund of the purchase price including taxes, registration fees, and monthly payments, minus a mileage offset. Alternatively, you can receive a comparable replacement vehicle. The manufacturer is also required to pay your attorney fees and costs under Song-Beverly.
