Does an Acura Qualify Under California Lemon Law?

Your Acura may qualify under California Lemon Law if it was purchased or leased with a manufacturer’s warranty and develops a substantial defect that the manufacturer or an authorized Buick dealership cannot successfully repair.

Eligible vehicles may include:

New Acura vehicles
Leased vehicles
Certified pre-owned Acura (with remaining warranty)
Certain used Acura vehicles still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty

A defect does not have to leave your vehicle completely undrivable to qualify. If it significantly affects the vehicle’s safety, reliability, performance, or resale value, it may be covered under California Lemon Law.
