Your 1500 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
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.

Ram 1500 Lemon Law FAQ
Does the California Lemon Law apply to my Ram 1500?
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.
How many repair attempts are needed before my Ram 1500 qualifies as a lemon?
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.
Can I file a lemon law claim if my Ram 1500 HEMI engine keeps failing?
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.
Will I have to pay attorney fees for a Ram 1500 lemon law case in California?
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.
