A quick eligibility check

Your ASX 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.

Common Mitsubishi ASX Problems

The 4B11 2.0L engine in the ASX develops excessive crankcase pressure due to a failing PCV valve system, causing oil leaks at multiple gasket surfaces and blue smoke from the exhaust under acceleration.
The CVT transmission produces a high-pitched whining noise that increases with vehicle speed, caused by worn CVT belt segments and deteriorating pulley surfaces requiring complete transmission replacement.
The 4B11 engine knock sensor fails intermittently, causing the ECU to retard ignition timing excessively and resulting in sluggish acceleration, poor fuel economy, and persistent code P0325.
The front wheel hub bearings fail prematurely on both sides, producing a humming noise that increases with speed and worsens during turns, with excessive play detectable by 40,000 miles.
The fuel tank evaporative emission system develops canister purge valve failures, triggering codes P0441 and P0456 for EVAP system incorrect flow and small leak, causing recurring check engine light illumination.

Your California Lemon Law Rights

Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your Mitsubishi ASX 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

Mitsubishi ASX Lemon Law FAQ

My Mitsubishi ASX has had the same CVT whining noise repaired four times without success. What should I do under California Lemon Law?

With four failed repair attempts for the same defect, you have a strong presumption of a lemon under California's Song-Beverly Act. Contact a lemon law attorney immediately to send a demand letter to Mitsubishi. The law entitles you to a full refund or replacement, and the manufacturer must pay your attorney fees if you prevail.

Can I still drive my ASX while pursuing a Lemon Law claim in California?

Yes, you can continue driving your ASX while your lemon law claim is pending. In fact, you should continue to bring it in for repairs as needed to further document the ongoing defect. However, if the vehicle has a safety defect that makes it dangerous to drive, discuss alternative transportation options with your attorney. Continued use does not waive your rights under Song-Beverly.

Does a check engine light for an EVAP system leak in my ASX qualify as a substantial defect for Lemon Law?

An EVAP system defect alone may be considered a minor issue that does not substantially impair use, value, or safety. However, if it causes persistent check engine light illumination that prevents you from passing a smog inspection, or if it is combined with other unresolved defects, it may contribute to a lemon law claim. An attorney can evaluate whether your specific situation meets the threshold.

What happens to my existing loan or financing if my ASX is bought back under Lemon Law?

Under the Song-Beverly Act, Mitsubishi is required to pay off your remaining loan or financing balance as part of the buyback. The manufacturer refunds the full purchase price including your down payment and all monthly payments made, and directly satisfies the lender's lien. You walk away free of any financial obligation on the defective vehicle.
