The dealership told me the static in my speakers doesn't constitute a Lemon Law claim, is that true?

The Song-Beverly Act applies to defects which constitute a substantial impairment to the use, value or safety of the vehicle to the owner or lessee. Therefore, inconveniences (static or poor reception in the radio, for example) normally do not make a Lemon Law claim. In the case of serious problems with transmission, engine function, “CHECK ENGINE”, engine oil or transmission oil leaks, overheating, brakes, SRS/airbag, inoperable air conditioning, persistent water leaking and others are examples of Lemon Law impairment to use, value, or safety of the vehicle. There are also federal laws that further expand on what is considered to be a “defect” that constitutes replacement of purchase price or a refund of monies spent.
