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.

Polestar Polestar 5 Lemon Law FAQ

Does the Song-Beverly Act cover defects discovered after the factory warranty has expired on my Polestar 5?

In some cases, yes. If the defect first appeared or was reported during the warranty period but was never properly repaired, your claim can survive beyond the warranty expiration. Additionally, any extended warranty or service contract purchased with the vehicle may also be covered under the Act.

Can I still drive my Polestar 5 while pursuing a Lemon Law claim?

Yes, you may continue driving your vehicle while your claim is pending. However, you should continue to report any recurring issues to the dealership and keep detailed records of all symptoms and repair visits. Continuing to seek repairs actually strengthens your case by demonstrating the ongoing nature of the defect.

What if the dealer says they cannot replicate the defect in my Polestar 5?

A dealer's inability to replicate a reported defect does not bar your Lemon Law claim. Under Song-Beverly, each visit where you present the vehicle for repair counts as a repair attempt, regardless of whether the dealer reproduces the problem. Your documented complaints and any diagnostic trouble codes stored in the vehicle's systems serve as supporting evidence.

Am I entitled to a civil penalty if Polestar willfully violates the Song-Beverly Act regarding my Polestar 5?

Yes. If a court or arbitrator determines that Polestar willfully failed to comply with the Song-Beverly Act, you may be awarded a civil penalty of up to two times your actual damages. This penalty is designed to deter manufacturers from deliberately ignoring valid warranty claims or delaying the resolution process.
