Acura CDX Lemon Law

The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies to any new vehicle sold or leased in California with a manufacturer warranty, regardless of how widely the model is distributed. If your CDX was purchased or leased from an authorized dealer in California and came with an Acura warranty, you have full lemon law protection. The rarity of the model does not diminish your consumer rights.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, you are entitled to restitution of the purchase price and all collateral charges, which can include dealer-installed accessories and add-ons. Aftermarket accessories you installed yourself are generally not included in the lemon law refund calculation. However, you may be able to remove those accessories before returning the vehicle to the manufacturer.

Begin by ensuring every overheating incident is documented on a dealer repair order, including the dates and descriptions of the problem. Contact Acura corporate customer service to open a formal complaint case. Then consult with a California lemon law attorney who can evaluate your repair history and send a demand letter to Acura under the Song-Beverly Act.

Acura may offer a cash-and-keep settlement as an alternative to a full buyback under the Song-Beverly Act. You are not obligated to accept this offer, and it is often significantly less than what you would receive through a full refund or replacement. Consult with a lemon law attorney before accepting any settlement to ensure you receive fair compensation for your defective CDX.
