2025 Toyota Tundra Lemon Law Case Study: Buyback in Washington
35 Days Out of Service Across 1 Repair Visit
Our client in Washington brought the 2025 Toyota Tundra in for repairs once. That visit kept it off the road for 35 days. When it went in for its first repair, it had 9,625 miles on it.
The claim against Toyota ended in a vehicle buyback totaling $82,536. It adds up the money paid to our client, the loan or lease payoff, and the manufacturer-paid attorney fees.
