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

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.

Common Porsche 911 Problems

The 9A2 Evo 3.0L flat-six engine in 911 Carrera models develops cylinder scoring on banks 4 and 6 due to inadequate intermediate shaft-driven oil scavenging, often detected by elevated oil consumption exceeding one quart per 1,000 miles.
PDK 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (DL080) producing a metallic rattle at idle caused by excessive lash in the dual-mass flywheel torsion damper springs, requiring flywheel replacement under warranty.
Rear main seal (IMS area) seeping oil onto the PDK bellhousing, triggering clutch contamination and premature friction disc glazing that causes shudder during launch control engagements.
Sport Chrono clock spring and mode selector switch failing intermittently, leaving the vehicle locked in Normal mode and unable to access Sport or Sport Plus drive programs via the steering wheel rotary dial.
Front axle lift system hydraulic pump (part 992-355-007) failing prematurely due to internal check valve fatigue, causing the nose to remain in the raised position or fail to lift over driveways.

Your California Lemon Law Rights

Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your Porsche 911 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

Porsche 911 Lemon Law FAQ

My 911's 9A2 flat-six engine is consuming excessive oil. Is this a valid lemon law defect in California?

Excessive oil consumption that exceeds Porsche's published acceptable limits can constitute a substantial defect under the Song-Beverly Act, particularly if it poses a risk of engine damage or catalytic converter failure. If the dealer has attempted to remedy the issue through software updates or piston ring replacement without success, you may be entitled to a buyback or replacement.

Porsche offered me a goodwill repair on my 911's PDK transmission instead of a warranty claim. Does this affect my lemon law rights?

Accepting a goodwill repair does not waive your rights under the Song-Beverly Act. Each repair attempt, whether performed under warranty or goodwill, counts toward the reasonable number of attempts the manufacturer is afforded. Ensure the repair order clearly describes the defect and the work performed regardless of how it is billed.

Can I claim diminished value on my 911 in addition to a lemon law buyback in California?

Under the Song-Beverly Act, you are entitled to a refund of the purchase price minus a reasonable offset for mileage used before the first repair attempt. California courts have also awarded civil penalties of up to two times the actual damages if the manufacturer willfully violated the Act. Diminished value claims may be pursued separately under general civil remedies.

My 911 has been at the Porsche dealer for over 30 days for a front axle lift system repair. What should I do?

Under California's Song-Beverly Act, a vehicle that has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative calendar days due to warranty repairs creates a presumption that the vehicle is a lemon. Contact a California lemon law attorney immediately and provide copies of all repair orders showing the dates the vehicle was dropped off and returned. Time spent waiting for parts counts toward the 30-day total.
