Ram 1500 Lemon Law

Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, your Ram 1500 is covered if it was purchased or leased with a manufacturer warranty in California. If the dealer cannot repair a substantial defect within a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a replacement or refund.

California law generally presumes a vehicle is a lemon after two or more repair attempts for a defect that could cause death or serious injury, or four or more attempts for other substantial defects. A vehicle that has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days may also qualify.

Absolutely. Recurring HEMI engine failures such as lifter collapse or cam wear are substantial defects under Song-Beverly. Document every dealer visit and keep all repair orders, as these records are critical to proving your claim.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, the manufacturer is required to pay your attorney fees and costs if you prevail. Most California lemon law attorneys handle these cases on a contingency basis, meaning you typically pay nothing out of pocket.
