Legal Question in Consumer Law in California
Lemon Law or Cooling Off Period...? or ?
A friend of mine recently purchased a brand new Mazda automobile. He has owned the car for less then 30 days and now the transmission has gone out. Is there any lemon laws that apply to this? or I thought I heard there was a cooling off period law that went into effect this year to protect buyers in cases such has this? I think he should get a new car, but I don't know the law. A brand new car needing a new transmission has to be rare, but what protects the consumer and does the consumer have the right to demand another new vehicle?

The dealer has an opportunity to correct the problem and if it fails to after repeated attempts the lemon law may be applied. Call me directly at 16192223504.

California's Lemon Law allows the dealer to make a "reaonsable" number of attempts to fix the problems:
