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.

Your California Lemon Law Rights

Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your Toyota Tundra 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 Tundra Lemon Law FAQ

My 2022 Tundra twin-turbo keeps going into limp mode. How strong is my California Lemon Law case?

Repeated limp mode events on the Tundra's V35A-FTS engine represent a substantial impairment of the vehicle's use and safety, especially if they occur at highway speeds. Under the Song-Beverly Act, turbocharger and engine control defects that trigger limp mode are clear warranty failures. If two or more repair attempts have not resolved the issue, you likely meet the Lemon Law presumption threshold.

Does the Tundra i-FORCE MAX hybrid power loss qualify as a safety defect under Lemon Law?

Yes. A complete loss of power while driving at highway speeds is one of the most serious safety defects recognized under the Song-Beverly Act. The Lemon Law presumption for safety-related defects requires only two repair attempts. If you have experienced this issue even once after an initial repair, consult a Lemon Law attorney immediately and also file a complaint with NHTSA to create a formal safety record.

My Tundra has been at the dealer for over 30 days for transmission problems. What are my rights?

Under the Song-Beverly Act, if your Tundra has been out of service for a cumulative total of 30 or more calendar days for warranty repairs (not necessarily consecutive), the vehicle is presumed to be a lemon. This 30-day threshold applies regardless of how many separate repair visits it took. Ensure you have documentation showing the drop-off and pick-up dates for each repair visit.

Can I include aftermarket accessories in my Tundra Lemon Law refund calculation?

Under the Song-Beverly Act, your refund includes the full purchase price, sales tax, registration fees, and finance charges. Aftermarket accessories that were installed by the selling dealer as part of the purchase may be included. Accessories you purchased and installed independently are typically not part of the refund, but you can remove them from the vehicle before returning it to Toyota.
