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.

Yakima Lemon Law

Yakima Lemon Law Basics

Washington's lemon law, Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911, is the one that applies in Yakima. 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.

This is what happens after you call us from Yakima.

Document Your Repairs

Keep every repair order from your Yakima 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 Yakima 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.

Yakima County

Court and Venue in Yakima

Yakima is in Yakima County. The Washington Courts directory lists the Yakima 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.

What the Statute Says

Washington Lemon Law - Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement: The Rules That Decide a Yakima Claim

Your Rights Under WA Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

By statute, the Washington remedy is replacement vehicle, full refund, or restitution. When a Yakima car qualifies under WA law, the case usually ends in one of three ways.

Refund

The manufacturer buys the car back. It repays the price along with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges.

Replacement Vehicle

Instead of money you get a comparable new car, and the swap costs you nothing.

Cash Settlement

The statute does not set this one. It comes from negotiation: you keep the car, and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Washington law and on the paperwork Yakima drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Yakima drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the Washington rule is: must use state-certified arbitration through the Washington Attorney General's office. We prepare that filing for you.

REMEDIES

Wash. Rev. Code §19.118.005 to §19.118.911 provides for replacement vehicle, full refund, or restitution. Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.

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.

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.

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.

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^‡.

“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.”

“My Dodge Challenger's AC would blow hot air on the driver side but cold on passenger. Dealer recharged it twice, replaced a blend door actuator once. Problem came back every time. I was sweating through my shirt in August. Called Easy Lemon and Aaron Waldo said a climate control issue that makes driving uncomfortable counts. His team fought Dodge and got me a cash settlement. Got it fixed at a local shop and the AC has been cold ever since.”
