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.

Tacoma Lemon Law

Tacoma Lemon Law Basics

Washington's lemon law, Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911, is the one that applies in Tacoma. It covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Washington for personal, family, or household use (includes motorcycles), and 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 Washington Lemon Law Attorneys page has the full statute text, the filing deadlines and the used-car rules.

Is Your Tacoma 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.

Pierce County

Court and Venue in Tacoma

Tacoma is in Pierce County. The Washington Courts directory lists the Pierce 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.

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. Only 2 diagnosis or repair attempts are needed for a serious safety defect. Also covers motorcycles.

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 Tacoma 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 Tacoma drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the Washington cases we handle settle at the written-demand stage, without a lawsuit. How long that takes depends on your repair history and on the manufacturer. The Washington filing deadline is within 30 months from the date of original delivery.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911, your Tacoma 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.

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.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

Easy Lemon has handled 1,500+ lemon law matters^‡.

“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."”

“I'm not a lawyer, but I tried. I filed complaints with the BBB. I called the manufacturer's customer service line so many times they knew my voice. I even wrote a letter to the dealership owner. Nothing.
My Honda Pilot's fuel system kept throwing check engine codes for the evaporative emissions system. Four visits, four 'fixes,' four returns of the light.
A friend said 'just call a lemon law firm already.' I called Easy Lemon and spoke to Natalie Nassi. First thing she said: 'You've done the hard work already. Now let us do ours.'
She was right. She took my mountain of paperwork—my letters, my complaint case numbers, my repair orders—and organized it into a real claim. The manufacturer settled in two months.
Why them? Natalie valued the effort I'd already put in. She didn't start from zero; she built on my frustration. That respect made all the difference.”
