Is Your Vehicle Defective?
Is There a Warranty?
Get Your Full Refund
The Central Coast is known for its beauty — from Santa Barbara’s beaches to Santa Maria’s vineyards and farmland. But life here often means long commutes along Highway 101 or Highway 154, where safety and reliability are non-negotiable. When your vehicle turns out to be defective, you don’t just lose peace of mind — you lose valuable time, money, and security.
At Sierra Litigation, our attorneys fight for consumers across Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Lompoc, and Carpinteria who have been stuck with lemons. If your new or used car has repeated defects or if a dealer misled you, California’s Lemon Law and consumer protection statutes give you powerful rights — and we know how to enforce them.
We represent clients throughout the county, including:
- Santa Maria – where farmworkers and families depend on reliable Ford trucks, Chevy Silverados, and Toyota SUVs for daily life.
- Santa Barbara – luxury-heavy markets with brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Tesla, where repeated software glitches or hidden damage can turn a dream car into a nightmare.
- Goleta – a commuter hub near UCSB, where students and professionals rely on Hondas, Toyotas, and Subarus.
- Lompoc & Vandenberg Village – where military families and commuters demand dependable vehicles for long stretches of road.
- Carpinteria – a coastal town where residents often rely on SUVs and family cars for both city driving and weekend trips.
No matter where you purchased your car, if it turned out to be defective or if the dealer lied about its condition, we’re ready to help.
We see a wide range of problems in lemon law cases across the Central Coast, including:
- Transmission failures in Nissan Altimas, Jeep Cherokees, and Ford Escapes
- Engine stalling and overheating in Chevy Equinoxes, Toyota Corollas, and Hyundai Sonatas
- Electrical malfunctions in Tesla Models S and 3, BMW X5s, and Volkswagen ID.4s
- Air conditioning and heater failures, particularly frustrating in hot Santa Maria summers
- Brake and steering defects in Honda CR-Vs, Kia Sorentos, and Dodge Durangos
If your car keeps returning to the dealership without a real solution, you may be entitled to a refund, replacement, or cash settlement.
Beyond defective cars, many Santa Barbara County consumers fall victim to auto fraud. Dealers sometimes:
- Sell cars with undisclosed accident damage or salvage titles
- Roll back odometers or misrepresent a vehicle as “certified”
- Inflate financing terms or sneak in junk add-on fees
- Hide safety recalls or warranty exclusions
Whether your issue happened at a Santa Maria dealership off Broadway or a Santa Barbara showroom along State Street, we’ve seen it all. Our attorneys know how to expose dealer misconduct and protect your rights.

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.
When you’ve exhausted your options and the dealer or manufacturer still won’t make things right, consulting a consumer protection attorney can be the turning point. A California-licensed lawyer can help gather the necessary documents, handle communications on your behalf, and push the dealer or manufacturer to address the problem quickly.
Most consumer protection attorneys work on a contingency fee model, so you usually don’t have to pay anything upfront to pursue your lemon vehicle claim.
