Lemon Law for California

When you accepted the car, you should continue to make its payments; for the time being, at least, you are considered the car’s owner and are responsible for its costs. (You may be able to get your money back later.) Unless you accepted the car on the assumption that the seller would repair the defect within a reasonable period, you may not reject it.

However, you may be able to revoke your acceptance. You must give the seller notice of the defect, and show that it substantially impairs the value of the car to you. Revocation involves a higher standard than rejection. Generally, the defect allows revocation. After the  revoking is accepted, you must act as if you have rejected the car. Leave the car in your driveway until the seller reclaims it, or return it yourself.
