Auto Advocates File Amicus Brief in California Supreme Court
CFA joined a group of advocates, legal aid and pro bono attorneys, and researchers in an amicus brief asking the California Supreme Court to reverse a decision which jeopardizes California’s strong consumer protections for car buyers. California’s Song-Beverly Act has historically provided relief to the thousands of consumers who buy used cars that turn out to be a “lemon” when the car is under the factory warranty. The California Court of Appeals’ ruling incorrectly finds that instead of being entitled to a refund or replacement for a lemon, consumers would be forced to drive and pay for dangerous defective vehicles. Advocates urge the California Supreme Court to reverse this decision and uphold the intent of Song-Beverly to protect car buyers from hazardous vehicles.
