Polestar Polestar 3 Lemon Law

Yes. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies to both purchased and leased vehicles in California. If your leased Polestar 3 has a substantial defect that the manufacturer cannot fix after a reasonable number of attempts, you are entitled to the same protections as if you had purchased the vehicle outright.

A substantial defect is any issue that impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle and is covered under the manufacturer's warranty. For the Polestar 3, this could include drivetrain malfunctions, suspension failures, or persistent sensor calibration problems that affect driving safety.

You should file your claim while the vehicle is still under the manufacturer's original warranty or within a reasonable time after the warranty expires if the defect first appeared during the warranty period. California's statute of limitations for Song-Beverly claims is four years from the date you first discovered or should have discovered the defect.

California does not require you to participate in the manufacturer's arbitration program before filing a lawsuit under Song-Beverly. While Polestar may offer an informal dispute resolution process, participation is voluntary and does not waive your right to pursue legal action.
