Lemon Laws in Washington
Are you the owner of a lemon? Are you leasing one? A motor vehicle, computer, or other product sold or leased after January 1, 1987 that has a defect that substantially impairs its functionality is considered a "lemon". This defect or defects must inhibit the safety or function of the product. To qualify under Lemon Law, the appliance or product must require multiple repairs while under the manufacturer's factory warranty. All repairs must be made by the manufacturer, dealership, or other authorized diagnostic center so as not to violate the warranty's terms of agreement. The manufacturer is allowed a reasonable number of attempts to fix your product. Washington Lemon Law also requires that your vehicle be purchased/leased and originally registered in the state of Washington.
Federal Lemon Law, more formally known as The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, provides for fee-shifting. This means all attorney fees will be covered by the manufacturer if you have a lemon. A lot of people believe lemon laws only apply to motor vehicles. While this is true of many lemon laws on the state level, federal Lemon Law applies to all types of consumer products including cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, boats, computers, home appliances, as well as a variety other items under federal law.
Additionally, used vehicles are not covered by state lemon law. Federally, however, used vehicles are covered under the lemon law if you have a manufacturer's warranty, original or extended. Whether your lemon law case is covered by state law, federal law, or both, it is important that you obtain a Washington lemon law attorney as soon as possible in order to ensure your rights and interests are protected.
