Get Compensated with Lemon Law Associates of California – Your San Diego Hyundai Lemon Law Attorney

In a city as spread out as San Diego, reliable transportation isn’t optional—it’s essential. From daily commutes on I-5 and I-15 to navigating neighborhoods where public transit falls short, most San Diegans depend on their vehicles every day. That’s why many drivers turn to Hyundai for affordable, fuel-efficient options like the Elantra, Tucson, Santa Fe, Kona, and Sonata.

Despite the traction Hyundai has accelerated in recent years, manufacturing defects are known —most notably engine failures that can leave drivers stranded or, in extreme cases, create fire risks. When these problems keep sending you back to the dealership, your concerns may be minimized in favor of repeat repairs. Afterall, the dealer is incentivized to repair the vehicle– even if it’s under factory warranty.

That’s where Asociados de la Ley de Limón comes in. If your Hyundai is under factory warranty and suffering repeated defects, you may qualify for a full buyback, offering significantly more value than a trade-in. Before giving up your vehicle before it gives up on you, contact Lemon Law Associates to evaluate your potential case.

Understanding the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (California Lemon Law)

Knowledge is power—especially when you’re dealing with repeated vehicle problems. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, commonly known as California Lemon Law, was designed to protect consumers when a manufacturer fails to honor its warranty obligations. If a manufacturer cannot repair a covered defect within a reasonable timeframe or number of attempts, the law may apply.

What counts as a “reasonable number” of repair attempts?

California Lemon Law also includes an 18-month or 18,000-mile presumption window, but claims are not limited to that timeframe. If your vehicle first experienced the defect within the initial 18 months or 18,000 miles—whichever comes first—you may benefit from a stronger legal presumption in your favor. That said, defects that arise outside of this window can still qualify for protection. As long as the issue occurred while your Hyundai was under a valid manufacturer’s warranty, you may still have enforceable rights under California Lemon Law—even beyond these thresholds.

Common Hyundai Defects & Recalls

When your car starts knocking, stalling, or lighting up the dashboard like a Christmas tree, it’s more than an inconvenience—it’s a warning sign. And with Hyundai, some defects don’t even provide a warning sign. While hyundai is known for affordability and modern design, several recurring defects have impacted drivers across San Diego and beyond. Let’s review.

Navigating a Lemon Law case without legal representation is possible—but when you’re up against Hyundai Motor America and its extensive legal teams, the challenge quickly becomes a David vs. Goliath battle.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Hyundai Lemon Law Services

Yes—if the vehicle was sold with a manufacturer’s written warranty, such as a Certified Pre-Owned warranty.

In a repurchase/buyback case outcome, a mileage offset can be deducted from compensation. The mileage offset is calculated based on the miles prior to the first report attempt. 

The formula is: (Purchase price × miles at first repair attempt) ÷ 120,000.

For example, a $30,000 vehicle first repaired at 12,000 miles would have a $3,000 offset.

You can, but you’ll be up against the tremendous Legal Team of Hyundai leaving you susceptible to an unfair advantage, low settlements, or  “goodwill” repairs that require waiving your rights.
