Spokane Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Washington Drivers With Defective Vehicle Claims

The Spokane Lemon Law protects Washington consumers who purchase or lease new vehicles that fail to meet performance or reliability standards. If your car has persistent issues, you may be entitled to:

• A comparable replacement vehicle
• A full refund, including taxes, registration, and title fees
• A settlement for inconvenience or reduced resale value
• Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer if your claim is successful

You don’t pay any attorney fees — the manufacturer covers them when your case wins.

Spokane Lemon Law applies to:

• New and leased vehicles purchased or registered in Washington
• Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans for personal or family use
• Claims made within two years of purchase and 24,000 miles (whichever comes first)
• Vehicles with 4 or more repair attempts or 30+ cumulative days in the shop for the same defect
• Some small business vehicles that meet Washington’s coverage rules

Not Covered: Used “as-is” vehicles, off-road vehicles, or those heavily modified after purchase.

You may qualify if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s use, value, or safety
• The manufacturer or dealer made 4 or more repair attempts for the same problem
• Your vehicle was out of service 30 or more cumulative days
• The issue occurred within the manufacturer’s warranty or within 2 years of delivery

Our Spokane Lemon Law attorneys will review your situation and confirm your eligibility — free of charge.

Frequent issues that may qualify include:

• Engine stalling, overheating, or failure to start
• Transmission slipping or jerking
• Steering or braking system problems
• Electrical or dashboard light malfunctions
• Faulty air conditioning or heating
• Leaks, rattling, or vibration issues

If these issues persist despite multiple repair attempts, your vehicle may be considered a lemon under Washington law.

While Washington’s Lemon Law mainly applies to new vehicles, used cars can still qualify under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or a dealer-provided warranty if:

• The vehicle came with a written warranty or service contract
• The issue occurred during that warranty coverage period
• The dealer or manufacturer failed to fix the issue after multiple attempts
