Get Started

Washington’s State Motor Vehicle Warranty Law protects consumers who purchase or lease a new vehicle that turns out to be defective.

If the issue isn’t resolved after multiple repairs, the manufacturer must repurchase or replace the vehicle — and may be required to cover your legal costs as well.

Your Rights Under Washington State Lemon Law

If your car spends more time in the shop than on the road, Washington State Lemon Law is here to protect you. You may be legally entitled to compensation when:

  • The manufacturer fails to fix the same defect after 2 or more attempts, or
  • The vehicle has been in the shop for 30 or more total days for repairs.

Solutions include:

  • Vehicle Repurchase: A full refund of the vehicle price, including taxes, registration, and finance charges.
  • Replacement: A comparable new vehicle at no cost to you.
  • Cash Settlement: A payout for reduced value, time lost, or inconvenience.

What Vehicles Are Covered?

To qualify for Washington Lemon Law, the defect must:

  • Substantially impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety.
  • Occur within two years of original retail delivery and before 24,000 miles (RCW 19.118).
  • Remain unresolved after a reasonable number of attempts: two or more diagnoses or repairs for a serious safety defect, four or more for other defects, or a cumulative 30 or more calendar days out of service — at least 15 of them during the manufacturer’s written warranty.
  • A request for arbitration must be filed within 30 months of original retail delivery.

How to Qualify for Washington State Lemon Law?

You may be eligible under Washington State Lemon Law if:

  • The vehicle has a serious defect that affects use, safety, or value.
  • The manufacturer has had at least 2 repair attempts for the same issue, OR
  • The vehicle has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days due to warranty-covered repairs.
  • Filing deadlines are set by state law and are often much shorter than people expect — some states require action within months, not years. Contact us for a free review of the deadline that applies to your vehicle.
  • Be reported while the vehicle is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty or within your state’s lemon-law rights period — these periods vary by state and can be as short as one year.

Types of Defects Covered by Washington Lemon Law

Covered defects are those that substantially impair the vehicle’s function or safety, including:

  • Engine overheating or stalling
  • Transmission slipping or failure
  • Faulty brakes or steering
  • Dashboard warning light malfunctions
  • Powertrain and electrical issues
  • Suspension or alignment problems
  • Defective air conditioning or heating systems

Defects must be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and persist despite repairs.

Lemon Law for Used Cars in Washington
