California's lemon law changes mean fewer protections for car buyers
Briefly

"The year 2025 will introduce a revised lemon law; car buyers may face challenges if their vehicles turn out to be defective, despite existing protections."
"Governor Newsom signed the lemon law bill, citing concerns about court congestion, but critics argue it weakens consumer protections by allowing automakers potential opt-outs."
"A recent California Supreme Court ruling complicates matters further, stating that the lemon law does not bind manufacturers to warranty obligations for used vehicles, potentially leaving buyers unprotected."
"With legislative changes expected next year to reform the lemon law, it's uncertain how quickly these will align with existing consumer protections and their overall effectiveness."
