Your BRZ 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.

- Full refund of the purchase price
- Replacement vehicle of comparable value
- Cash compensation (cash-and-keep settlement)
- Attorney's fees paid by the manufacturer
Subaru BRZ Lemon Law FAQ
Can I file a Lemon Law claim for my Subaru BRZ's valve spring recall issue in California?
Yes. If the valve spring defect caused engine damage or stalling and Subaru's recall repair did not fully resolve the problem, you can pursue a claim under the Song-Beverly Act. A defect that causes engine stalling is a safety hazard, and under California law, only two repair attempts may be needed to establish the lemon law presumption for safety defects.
My BRZ's manual transmission grinds going into second gear. Is this covered under California Lemon Law?
Yes, if the transmission grinding occurs under normal driving conditions and constitutes a manufacturing defect rather than driver-induced wear. Under the Song-Beverly Act, a transmission defect covered by the factory warranty that Subaru cannot fix in a reasonable number of attempts can qualify your BRZ as a lemon. Have the dealer document the grinding on each visit and note that it occurs during normal shifts.
Does the Song-Beverly Act apply if my BRZ was purchased from a private seller?
The Song-Beverly Act applies if there is still an active manufacturer's express warranty on the vehicle at the time the defect arises. A private-party purchase does not void the transferable factory warranty. As long as the warranty coverage remains in effect, you have the same protections as the original buyer under California Lemon Law.
Can Subaru argue that my BRZ is a performance car and the defects are expected in California?
No. The Song-Beverly Act does not distinguish between economy cars and performance cars. Subaru provides the same factory warranty on the BRZ as its other models, and all warranted components must function properly regardless of the vehicle's intended use. A defect is a defect under the Act, and Subaru cannot lower the standard of quality based on the vehicle's performance characteristics.
