Bellevue Lemon Law Attorneys Protecting Washington Vehicle Owners

The Bellevue Lemon Law was designed to protect Washington consumers who unknowingly purchase defective vehicles. If your car spends more time in the repair shop than on the road, you may qualify for:

• A refund for payments, taxes, and finance charges
• A replacement vehicle of similar make and model
• A cash settlement for your inconvenience and reduced value
• Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer if your claim succeeds

You pay nothing out-of-pocket — we only get paid if we win.

The Washington Lemon Law covers:

• New passenger cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans under warranty
• Leased vehicles covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty
• Vehicles used for personal, household, or family purposes
• Defects reported within 1 year of delivery or during the warranty period

Does not cover: “as-is” used cars, motorcycles, motorhomes, or commercial vehicles.

You may be eligible if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s safety, use, or market value
• The dealer has made 4 or more unsuccessful repairs for the same problem
• The car has been out of service for 30 or more days in total
• The problem occurred within the manufacturer’s warranty period
• You filed your claim within Washington’s Lemon Law time limits

Keep all repair invoices and communication records — they’re key evidence for your case.

Frequent problems that qualify under the Washington Lemon Law include:

• Engine or transmission failure
• Electrical or computer malfunctions
• Brake or steering defects
• Faulty air conditioning or heating systems
• Repeated warning lights or sensor errors
• Safety issues (airbags, seatbelts, ABS)
• Water leaks or structural problems

If your vehicle keeps breaking down despite repairs, it might be a lemon.

The Washington Lemon Law generally applies to new and leased vehicles, but certain used cars may qualify if:

• The defect was reported within the original warranty period
• The issue appeared within 1 year of purchase
• The manufacturer had a reasonable number of attempts to repair it
