Do You Qualify?
Four questions will help you find out in about a minute.
You Likely Qualify!
Your answers meet the basic lemon law test. Before anyone can confirm that your car qualifies, an attorney has to see the repair orders. We work on a contingency basis, and there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
The standard lemon law test does not seem to fit. Other consumer protection laws may still help with a car like yours. Contact us anyway.

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. A Washington claim gets built on two things: the Washington 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.

Seattle Lemon Law Basics
A Seattle car is judged against Washington's statute, Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911, and that law covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Washington for personal, family, or household use (includes motorcycles). So the first question is coverage, and the second is whether your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above. If they do, and the defect is still there and the deadline has not run out, you may have a claim. The statute text, the filing deadlines and how used cars are treated are all on our Washington Lemon Law Attorneys page.
How a Seattle Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Seattle.
Document Your Repairs
Keep every repair order from your Seattle dealership, even the short ones. WA lemon law needs written proof of each repair attempt, and those papers are the proof.
Free Case Evaluation
We read your repair history against the Washington statute and tell you whether the car qualifies. The review costs nothing, and there are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
We File the Claim
We write and send the paperwork, including any written notice to the manufacturer that WA law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.
You Get Compensated
The case ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

Is Your Seattle 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.
Court and Venue in Seattle
Seattle 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.
