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.

Mitsubishi Pajero Lemon Law FAQ
I imported a Mitsubishi Pajero and it has warranty defects. Am I covered under California Lemon Law?
Coverage depends on whether the vehicle was sold with a written warranty in California. The Song-Beverly Act requires that the vehicle be sold or leased with an express warranty from the manufacturer or dealer in California. If you purchased the Pajero from an authorized dealer with a valid warranty, you may be covered. Grey-market imports without a US warranty may not qualify.
The 4WD system on my Pajero keeps malfunctioning. Does a drivetrain defect qualify for California Lemon Law?
Yes. A malfunctioning four-wheel drive system is a substantial defect under the Song-Beverly Act because it impairs the vehicle's intended use and can compromise safety. The Super Select 4WD system is a core feature of the Pajero, and repeated failures to repair it give you grounds for a lemon law claim. Two or more failed repair attempts for the same defect typically suffice.
What evidence should I collect to support my Pajero Lemon Law claim in California?
Keep all repair orders, service invoices, and dealer correspondence showing the dates, mileage, complaints, and work performed. Maintain a personal log of each occurrence of the defect, including symptoms and driving conditions. Retain all purchase or lease documents, warranty booklets, and any communications with Mitsubishi corporate. Photos and videos of the defect occurring are also valuable evidence.
Can Mitsubishi offer me a cash settlement instead of a refund or replacement for my Pajero?
Yes, manufacturers often propose cash settlements as an alternative to a full buyback. However, you are not obligated to accept a cash settlement under Song-Beverly. You have the right to demand a full refund or replacement vehicle. Before accepting any settlement offer, consult a lemon law attorney who can evaluate whether the amount fairly compensates you for the defect and associated losses.
