Start with the records. Repair orders, warranty documents, mileage, and days out of service are more useful than general assumptions about whether a vehicle qualifies.
If your 2025 Ferrari Roma is spending more time at the dealer than on the road, you’re not alone—and you’re not without options. California’s lemon law is designed to protect consumers who bought or leased a new or warrantied vehicle that can’t be fixed after reasonable repair attempts.
This article explains how the California lemon law may apply to a 2025 Ferrari Roma, what kinds of defects and repair records matter, and practical steps you can take right now. It’s general information, not legal advice. If you want guidance for your specific situation, contact ZapLemon for a consultation.
Is Your 2025 Ferrari Roma a Lemon in California?
California’s lemon law, officially the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, helps consumers when a new or warrantied vehicle has a defect the manufacturer or its authorized dealer can’t repair after a reasonable number of attempts. The law can apply to new purchases, leases, and many used vehicles still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. For a 2025 Ferrari Roma, that usually means issues arising while the car is under Ferrari’s new-vehicle warranty or any applicable extended manufacturer warranty.
The law includes a “presumption” that a car may be a lemon if, within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles (whichever comes first), it has: four or more repair attempts for the same problem; two or more repair attempts for a defect that could cause serious injury or death; or more than 30 total days in the shop for warranty repairs. This presumption isn’t the only way to prove a lemon—some cases qualify even if they fall outside these benchmarks—but it gives a useful guideline.
Potential remedies under the lemon law can include a refund (often called a buyback) or a replacement vehicle, and may account for incidental costs like registration, towing, or rental car expenses related to the defect. Exact outcomes depend on the facts, mileage offsets, and the law’s requirements. Arbitration or a manufacturer’s dispute program may be an option in some cases, but it’s not always required. The best first step is to gather your records and get a case-specific evaluation.
Common 2025 Ferrari Roma Defects and Repair Records
High-performance vehicles like the 2025 Ferrari Roma are precision machines, and some owners may experience issues that are frustrating to diagnose and fix. Examples seen in performance cars generally can include drivetrain vibrations, transmission shift hesitation, electrical gremlins causing warning lights, infotainment or camera glitches, brake noise or pulsation, suspension clunks, or coolant and oil leaks. Not every Roma will have problems, and not every problem is a lemon. What matters is whether a covered defect substantially impairs the car’s use, value, or safety and can’t be repaired after reasonable attempts.
Because many supercar issues can be intermittent, clear repair documentation is critical. Each time you visit the dealer, ask for a detailed repair order that states your complaint in your own words (e.g., “loss of power during acceleration,” “check engine light with rough idle,” “transmission harsh 2–3 upshift”), the dates and mileage in/out, the technician’s findings, and the parts/work performed. Track every day the car is out of service, including waiting for parts. If you receive a loaner or rent a car, keep those records too.
A few practical tips can strengthen your position: avoid aftermarket modifications or tuning that may affect warranty coverage; promptly report warning lights or unusual behavior; test drive with a technician if the problem is intermittent; and keep all communications in writing (emails, texts, portal messages). Also, confirm whether any technical service bulletins (TSBs) or recalls apply to your VIN. These steps don’t guarantee a result, but they create a clear timeline and evidence trail if your situation meets California’s lemon law criteria.
