If your vehicle is worth less than $35,000? If so, greedy auto manufacturers are trying to take away your lemon law protections!

Let him know that you live in California and urge him to VETO SB 71. If you can, share your own story of how the lemon law helped you get restitution from your auto manufacturer.

For example, an owner of a new Ford car may submit: “I spent over $30,000 to buy a brand new car, and it was in the shop for repairs for over two months. Ford refuses to buy it back. California needs a strong auto lemon law. Don’t weaken it. I urge you to VETO SB 71.”
