Is Your Vehicle Defective?
Is There a Warranty?
Get Your Full Refund
Life on the Central Coast is beautiful but demanding. Whether you’re winding along Highway 1’s rugged coastline, commuting over the treacherous Highway 17 summit into Silicon Valley, or hauling produce from Watsonville’s strawberry fields, your vehicle isn’t just transportation — it’s a lifeline. When that vehicle turns out to be a lemon, it threatens your safety, time, and livelihood.
At Sierra Litigation, we stand up for Central Coast drivers. From Santa Cruz’s surfers and students to Watsonville’s agricultural workers and families, we’ve seen how unreliable vehicles can grind daily life to a halt. California’s Lemon Law exists to protect you from being stuck with a defective vehicle, and our attorneys know how to make automakers and dealerships pay attention.
We’re proud to represent clients throughout the Central Coast region, including:
- Santa Cruz – where daily commuters trust Toyota Camrys, Honda Civics, and Tesla Model 3s for the drive over Highway 17.
- Watsonville – an agricultural powerhouse where Ford F-150s, Ram 2500s, and Chevy Silverados are essential tools for work and family.
- Capitola & Aptos – family-friendly beach towns where dependable SUVs like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Hyundai Tucson are popular.
- Scotts Valley – a steep, hilly community where brake, transmission, and suspension issues in vehicles like the Subaru Outback and Nissan Rogue become serious safety concerns.
- Marina & Seaside – gateways into Monterey County where many commuters purchase vehicles from coastal dealerships.
- Gilroy & Morgan Hill – fast-growing communities just over the hill, where families rely on minivans like the Chrysler Pacifica and Kia Carnival for daily life.
No matter where you are on the Central Coast, if your vehicle is defective, our attorneys can help.
Certain problems come up again and again in the cases we handle. These include:
- Transmission Failures – jerking, slipping, or total breakdown in Nissan Altimas, Honda Accords, and Ford Escapes.
- Engine Defects – oil consumption, stalling, or overheating in Chevy Equinox, Toyota Corolla, and Subaru Forester.
- Electrical & Infotainment Issues – blank screens, navigation freezes, or charging errors in Tesla Model Y, Volkswagen ID.4, and BMW X5.
- Braking Problems – premature wear or ABS failures in Kia Sorento, Hyundai Elantra, and Mercedes-Benz GLC.
- Persistent Warning Lights – unresolved “check engine” or “service vehicle soon” alerts in Jeep Grand Cherokee, Hyundai Sonata, and Volkswagen Jetta.
When dealerships shrug and tell you “it’s normal” or “nothing’s wrong,” but your vehicle keeps failing, that’s when California Lemon Law applies.
Beyond defects, many Central Coast clients come to us because they’ve been victims of auto fraud. Dealerships sometimes:
- Misrepresent a car as “certified pre-owned” when it has a hidden accident history.
- Roll back odometers or hide past salvage titles.
- Sell cars with aftermarket damage or undisclosed recalls.
- Inflate financing terms or sneak in junk add-ons like overpriced service contracts.
We’ve seen it all, and we know how to hold dealerships accountable. If you purchased your vehicle in Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Gilroy, or anywhere along Highway 1, and feel you were misled, we’re ready to fight back.

I had reached out to Mr. John Miser for some legal assistance regarding a situation I was having with a vehicle. He responded promptly and was very professional. John took the time to explain the process to me and he kept me informed the entire time. Everything was successful. Thanks John for everything!

We love sharing our knowledge to help educate others.
If your attempts to resolve a lemon car problem are getting nowhere, involving a consumer protection attorney can make a significant difference. An experienced California attorney can help you assemble the necessary paperwork and apply the kind of pressure that encourages the dealer or manufacturer to respond.
Most consumer protection attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won’t face any upfront legal fees while pursuing your claim.
