How your Oregon claim gets built

Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. An Oregon claim gets built on two things: the Oregon lemon law statute, and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies in all fifty states. Send the repair orders and the purchase or lease paperwork, and we can tell you which of the two fits your vehicle.

Lake Oswego Lemon Law

Lake Oswego Lemon Law Basics

Oregon's lemon law, Or. Rev. Stat. §646A.400 to §646A.418, is the one that applies in Lake Oswego. It covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Oregon for personal, family, or household use. You may have a claim once your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above, as long as the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. Our Oregon Lemon Law Attorneys page has the full statute text, the filing deadlines and the used-car rules.

Step by Step

How a Lake Oswego Lemon Law Claim Works

This is what happens after you call us from Lake Oswego.

1

Document Your Repairs

Keep every repair order from your Lake Oswego dealership, even the short ones. Under Oregon's lemon law, those papers are the written proof of each repair attempt.

2

Free Case Evaluation

We read your repair history against the Oregon statute and tell you whether the car qualifies. The review costs nothing, and there are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

3

We File the Claim

We write and send the paperwork, including the written notice to the manufacturer that Oregon law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.

4

You Get Compensated

A successful case usually ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

Or. Rev. Stat. §646A.400 to §646A.418

Is Your Lake Oswego Car a Lemon? Oregon's 3-Step Test

1

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

Under Oregon law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

2

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Oregon the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service (60 days for motor homes), as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.

3

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Oregon, a claim must be brought within 1 year after the earlier of 2 years or 24,000 miles from original delivery. We check that deadline 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 think you are past a deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.

Oregon trial courts

Court and Venue in Lake Oswego

Parts of Lake Oswego lie in Clackamas County, Multnomah County and Washington County, per the 2020 Census. Their general civil trial courts are the Clackamas County Circuit Court (5th Judicial District), the Multnomah County Circuit Court (4th Judicial District) and the Washington County Circuit Court (20th Judicial District). Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Oregon lemon law is Or. Rev. Stat. §646A.400 to §646A.418. If the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal FTC rules and has told the consumer about it, the consumer must use it first; its decision binds the manufacturer but not the consumer.

The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days (60 days for motor homes) with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Under the statute, the court may award reasonable attorney fees to a consumer who prevails.

Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

Your Rights Under Oregon Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Oregon law provides for a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. There are three ways a qualifying case from Lake Oswego usually ends.

$

Refund

Give the car back and the manufacturer repays the price you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges. A reasonable use offset comes off that amount.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer hands you a comparable new car and pays the cost of the exchange.

$

Cash Settlement

The car stays yours and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it. You will not find this option in the statute. It is reached by negotiation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Oregon law and on the paperwork Lake Oswego drivers usually send us.

ELIGIBILITY
Or. Rev. Stat. §646A.400 to §646A.418 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Oregon for personal, family, or household use. If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.
We handle warranty defects that substantially impair the car's use, value or safety and that the dealer could not fix. The defects we see most often are engine stalling and misfires, transmission shudder or failure, electrical faults, brake and steering problems, and driver-assist systems that brake or drift on their own.
REMEDIES
Under Or. Rev. Stat. §646A.400 to §646A.418, the remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.
In Oregon, a consumer who wins may recover attorney's fees from the manufacturer. 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
No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Oregon cases by phone, email and e-signature. You upload your repair orders, your contract and your warranty booklet. We send the demand letter and handle the settlement paperwork. Nothing in Or. Rev. Stat. §646A.400 to §646A.418 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim.
You will have one assigned attorney and a direct line. You get a copy of every letter we send and a note whenever the manufacturer responds. We first check your repair history against Or. Rev. Stat. §646A.400 to §646A.418. Then written notice goes to the manufacturer, and we demand the statutory remedy, a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Most cases settle at that stage. If a case does not settle, the next step is set by Oregon law. In Oregon, if the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal FTC rules and told you about it, you must use it first. Its decision binds the manufacturer but not you.

“Wasn't sure I had a case because my problem seemed small. But it was constant. Same thing over and over. The service manager started avoiding me. Called Easy Lemon just to see. They said send your records. I did. Next thing I know, the manufacturer is offering a settlement. Not small at all. Glad I didn't talk myself out of calling.”

“My Dodge Challenger's fuel gauge would read empty when the tank was full. Dealer replaced the sending unit, then the whole fuel pump assembly. Same problem. I ran out of gas twice because I thought I had fuel. Stupid design. Called Easy Lemon and they said a safety feature like fuel gauge failing is a big deal. They fought Dodge and got me a buyback. New car doesn't lie to me about how much gas I have.”

“My Honda Pilot's backup camera would go black right when I needed it. Dealer replaced it once. Broke again. Replaced it again. Third time they said 'they're working on it.' I have kids, I need that camera. Called Easy Lemon and Natalie Nassi said a safety feature failing repeatedly counts. She filed the claim and Honda settled with cash. Got it fixed at an independent shop and pocketed the rest. Camera's been fine since.”
