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

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.

Step by Step

How a Seattle Lemon Law Claim Works

This is what happens after you call us from Seattle.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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

1

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
2

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.

3

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 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.

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 Seattle 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 Seattle drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE
Bring the repair orders from your Seattle 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
We handle any warranty defect that substantially impairs 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. Washington’s eligibility period ends 2 years after original delivery or at the first 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first; a consumer may request state-administered arbitration up to 30 months from original delivery.
REMEDIES
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
No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Washington 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 Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim. On arbitration, the Washington rule is: must use state-certified arbitration through the Washington Attorney General's office.
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.
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 Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911. Then written notice goes to the manufacturer, and we demand the statutory remedy, replacement vehicle, full refund, or restitution. Most cases settle at that stage. If a case does not settle, we take the next formal step that Washington law requires.

“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.”
