Get Compensated with Lemon Law Associates of California – Your San Diego Ford Lemon Law Attorney
If you’re feeling like your Ford isn’t “Built Ford Tough” the way you expected, you’re not alone. Across San Diego County — from Chula Vista to Carlsbad and beyond — Ford owners report ongoing mechanical issues that dealerships can’t seem to fix permanently.
Maybe your truck has been back to the service department multiple times for the same engine problem. Maybe your SUV stalls in traffic or your transmission jerks every time you accelerate onto I-5. Whatever the issue, repeat repairs can quickly turn pride of ownership into daily frustration.

Before selling your vehicle for cash or trading it in at a loss, it’s critical to understand your legal rights. A trusted San Diego Lemon Law attorney can determine whether you qualify for compensation under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act — commonly known as the California Lemon Law.
Understanding the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (California Lemon Law)
California’s Lemon Law protects consumers who purchase (new or some used) or lease Ford and experience a recurring defect or serious safety issue that the dealership cannot fix after a reasonable number of attempts. It also protects owners whose vehicle has been out of service for an extended period — typically 30 or more cumulative days — for warranty-related repairs. To qualify, the problem must first occur while the vehicle is covered under the manufacturer’s original warranty.

What counts as a “reasonable number” of repair attempts?
Importantly, if your vehicle qualifies, the manufacturer — not you — is responsible for paying reasonable attorney’s fees and legal costs. That means you can pursue your rights without adding financial strain to an already frustrating situation.
Common Ford Defects & Recalls
While every case is unique, certain mechanical issues frequently appear in Ford Lemon Law claims. These include:
Why You Need a San Diego-Based Lemon Law Attorney
From an understanding of local dealerships and how they handle issues to relationships with legal professionals, working with a local attorney matters. A San Diego-based Lemon Law attorney understands California statutes, local court procedures, and how manufacturers typically defend these cases. From experience, they are also familiar with common issues and objections such as a manufacturer claiming it’s “normal,” the defect doesn’t substantially impair the vehicle, or an additional number of attempts or in-service time should be allowed.


An experienced attorney knows how to counter these arguments with service records, repair histories, and expert analysis. The attorney you hire represents you, and will work 1-on-1 with you to create a winning case. At San Diego Lemon Law Associates we offer a free consultation to evaluate your case. When we win, California law requires manufacturers to pay attorney’s fees so that you don’t have to negotiate with a billion-dollar automaker alone.
Potential Outcomes: What Compensation Can You Get?
Since a reliable vehicle was too much to ask for, here are potential compensation outcomes that may be offered if your Ford qualifies as a lemon.
The Step-by-Step Legal Process
The Lemon Law process typically begins with a free consultation and review of your repair records. If your case qualifies, your attorney notifies the manufacturer and begins negotiations. Many claims resolve through settlement without going to trial. If necessary, a lawsuit may be filed to enforce your rights, but manufacturers often prefer to settle once strong documentation is presented. Throughout the process, your attorney handles communications, paperwork, and negotiations — allowing you to focus on your daily life instead of dealership visits.
