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.

Common Toyota Camry Problems

2020-2024 Toyota Camry 2.5L (A25A-FKS) engine with erratic idle and stalling at traffic stops, traced to a defective electronic throttle body (part number 22030-0V010) and faulty idle air control programming in the ECM.

Your California Lemon Law Rights

Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your Toyota Camry has a substantial defect that cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to:

  • Full refund of the purchase price
  • Replacement vehicle of comparable value
  • Cash compensation (cash-and-keep settlement)
  • Attorney's fees paid by the manufacturer

Toyota Camry Lemon Law FAQ

Can phantom braking in my Camry be considered a safety defect under California Lemon Law?

Absolutely. Phantom braking caused by a malfunctioning pre-collision system is a safety-related defect under the Song-Beverly Act. If Toyota has attempted to repair the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 radar module at least twice without success, the vehicle may be presumed a lemon. Document each incident with dash cam footage if possible and report every occurrence to the dealer.

My Camry's transmission shifts harshly. Is this covered under Toyota's powertrain warranty for Lemon Law purposes?

Yes, the UA80E transmission is covered under Toyota's 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Under the Song-Beverly Act, if the harsh shifting substantially impairs the vehicle's use or value and Toyota cannot correct it within a reasonable number of attempts, you may qualify for a buyback or replacement. Keep records of every dealer visit and any diagnostic trouble codes found.

How does the Song-Beverly Act protect me if my Camry has repeated electrical power steering failures?

The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act requires Toyota to repair warranty-covered defects like EPS rack failures. If the steering defect creates a safety hazard and persists after two repair attempts, or if the vehicle has been in the shop for over 30 days total, California law presumes the vehicle is a lemon. Steering loss is treated very seriously by courts and arbitrators.

Does Toyota's goodwill adjustment for the Camry engine stalling issue affect my Lemon Law rights?

No. Accepting a goodwill repair or TSB-related fix does not waive your rights under the Song-Beverly Act. Each goodwill or warranty repair counts as a repair attempt. If the stalling issue recurs despite these attempts, your claim is actually strengthened because it demonstrates that the manufacturer was unable to conform the vehicle to warranty.
