How your Washington claim gets built

Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C.

Burien Lemon Law

Burien Lemon Law Basics

In Burien, as anywhere else in Washington, a lemon law claim is brought under Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Washington for personal, family, or household use (includes motorcycles), but being covered is only the start. The car also has to reach one of the repair limits in the box above, with the defect still unrepaired and the deadline not yet passed. If it does, you may have a claim. Our Washington Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.

Is Your Burien Car a Lemon? Washington's 3-Step Test

Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?

Under Washington law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety. These defects came up in one of Easy Lemon's own Washington cases:

⚠️2024 Audi Q5 e (Plug-In Hybrid): Recurring wireless Apple CarPlay disconnects
⚠️2024 Audi Q5 e (Plug-In Hybrid): MMI infotainment screen randomly going dark / blanking during driving
⚠️2024 Audi Q5 e (Plug-In Hybrid): Wireless charging pad overheating during normal use

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Washington the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect (or 2 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. For a defect that could cause serious bodily injury or death, 2 repair attempts are enough. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Washington the deadline is 30 months from the date of original delivery. We check it against the delivery date on your contract and the dates on your repair orders.

If you are not sure about your dates, call us. The consultation is free. 📞 (855) 435-3666

If you are past the deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.

King County

Court and Venue in Burien

Burien is in King County. The Washington Courts directory lists the King County Superior Court as the county's superior court. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Washington lemon law is Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911. The claim must go through state-certified arbitration run by the Washington Attorney General's office.

The repair test in the statute is 4 repair attempts for the same defect (or 2 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative calendar days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle, full refund, or restitution. Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover attorney fees from the manufacturer.

Your Rights Under WA Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Under the statute, the remedies open to Washington drivers are replacement vehicle, full refund, or restitution. If your Burien car qualifies under WA law, the case usually ends in one of the three ways below.

Refund

You return the car and the manufacturer pays back the price, taxes, registration fees and finance charges.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer replaces the car with a comparable new one at its own cost.

Cash Settlement

You keep the car and receive a payment for its lost value. That payment is negotiated. The statute does not list it.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Washington law and on the paperwork Burien drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Bring the repair orders from your Burien dealer, your purchase or lease contract and your warranty booklet. Of the three, the repair orders carry the case. Each one shows the date, the mileage and what the service department did or did not fix. If a few are missing, ask the service desk for copies.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911, your Burien car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 4 repair attempts for the same defect (or 2 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Washington for personal, family, or household use (includes motorcycles).

Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Washington for personal, family, or household use (includes motorcycles). If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.

REMEDIES

Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911 provides for replacement vehicle, full refund, or restitution. Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.

In Washington, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing upfront and there is no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. When a manufacturer settles or loses, we ask it to pay our fee on top of your recovery. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2310(d)) adds a second fee-shifting route when a written warranty is breached. Our fee agreement is one page.

ATTORNEY & TRUST

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Washington, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. In most successful Washington claims, the manufacturer pays our fee. Repair orders are free from the dealer. We pay the filing costs while the case is open. To start, send us the repair orders for a free case review.

“Easy Lemon made filling a claim super easy! Communication was excellent. When I needed to communicate additional information, or ask questions, they were quick to respond. Very professional.

“I honestly didn't think I had a case. My Subaru's engine consumed a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. Dealer said it was 'within spec.' Did that three times. I just figured I'd live with it.
My brother-in-law, a mechanic, said 'that's not normal for a modern engine. Call someone.' So I did. I spoke to Steven Nassi at Easy Lemon.
He explained that excessive oil consumption is a known defect in certain Subaru engines. He'd handled similar cases. He said, 'They tell you it's normal because they don't want to replace the short block.' He already knew the internal service bulletins.
His team filed the claim. Subaru settled with a cash payment that covered my oil expenses and then some. I was genuinely surprised it worked.
Why different? Steven saw a pattern I didn't know existed. They don't just take cases; they know manufacturer secrets.”

“My Tesla Model Y had three things wrong that the service center couldn't fix: 1) Phantom braking on highway. 2) Passenger door handle wouldn't present half the time. 3) Rattling from the rear seat area they blamed on 'road noise.' I had service invoices showing four attempts on the brakes, two on the handle, and three on the rattle. Called Easy Lemon. Aaron Waldo took it. He didn't treat them as three small problems. He argued they collectively impaired the vehicle's safety and value. Manufacturer settled with a cash payout plus extended warranty on the remaining issues. They bundle your headaches into one real case."”
