A quick eligibility check
Your 1500 Classic may qualify if…
These are common indicators under California's Song-Beverly Act. An attorney reviews the full repair and warranty history before determining whether the firm can take a case.
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.
The defect continues and substantially affects the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

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.

Ram 1500 Classic Lemon Law FAQ
Does the California Lemon Law cover the Ram 1500 Classic?
Yes. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act covers the Ram 1500 Classic if it was purchased or leased new with a manufacturer warranty in California. Certified pre-owned vehicles with remaining warranty may also qualify.
My Ram 1500 Classic HEMI has been repaired three times for the same issue. Is it a lemon?
Under Song-Beverly, four or more repair attempts for the same non-safety defect generally creates a lemon presumption. For safety defects like engine stalling, only two attempts are needed. Three repairs may still support a claim depending on the circumstances.
Can I keep driving my Ram 1500 Classic while pursuing a lemon law claim?
Yes, you can continue driving your 1500 Classic while your claim is pending. However, each additional mile adds to the mileage offset deduction. Continue reporting any issues to the dealer and keep records of all visits.
What are civil penalties in a Ram 1500 Classic lemon law case?
If the manufacturer willfully violated the Song-Beverly Act by refusing to repurchase or replace your 1500 Classic despite knowing it was defective, the court may award civil penalties up to two times the actual damages.
