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
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.

Subaru Solterra Lemon Law FAQ
Does California Lemon Law apply to the Subaru Solterra since it is an electric vehicle?
Yes. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies to all new motor vehicles sold or leased in California, including battery electric vehicles like the Solterra. EV-specific components such as the battery pack, electric drive motors, and charging systems are all covered under the manufacturer's express warranty. The same repair attempt thresholds and consumer protections apply.
My Solterra's battery loses range much faster than advertised. Can I file a Lemon Law claim in California?
If the battery management system defect causes your Solterra to deliver substantially less range than Subaru's warranty specifications and the dealer has been unable to fix it, you may have a valid Song-Beverly Act claim. Subaru warrants the battery pack for 10 years or 100,000 miles, and significant capacity loss or BMS errors during that period constitute a warranty defect. Document the displayed range versus actual range on each occasion.
Can I pursue a Lemon Law claim if my Solterra was recalled for the hub bolt issue?
Yes. A recall is an acknowledgment by the manufacturer that a defect exists. If the recall repair was not performed properly, or if the problem recurs after the recall service, you can file a Song-Beverly Act claim. The hub bolt issue is a severe safety defect involving potential wheel detachment, so only two repair attempts are needed to trigger the lemon law presumption in California.
Does the Song-Beverly Act cover my Solterra's charging system problems?
Yes. The charging system, including the onboard charger module, CCS port, and associated control software, is covered under Subaru's factory warranty. If a defect prevents your Solterra from reliably DC fast charging and Subaru cannot resolve it in a reasonable number of repair attempts, this impairs the vehicle's use and value substantially. This is a strong basis for a lemon law claim under the Song-Beverly Act.
