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.

    "I think highly of their services and would recommend them for any lemon law case."
    In 2013, I leased a high-end car, but immediately discovered a number of problems, especially sudden braking or sudden acceleration. After taking the car to various authorized dealerships, none were able to fix the problem. The manufacturer was unwilling to admit that a problem existed. After talking with a number of attorneys, I was impressed that Alex concentrated on lemon-law cases. I sent Alex all of my detailed records, he gave me a likely timeframe, and he was able to get the manufacturer to take the car back within that time-frame. I think highly of his services and would recommend him in such lemon-law cases.

    "I was screwed on a new car and they helped get a refund!"
    I got screwed on a new car. After fighting the dealership on my own for 6 months and getting nowhere, Alex was able to get me a refund within a reasonable amount of time (about six months, without court). I will use him again if I have to.

    "National Lemon Law Center provided me excellent service during the entire process."
    My initial hearing with the State Attorney General was dismissed, and I decided to give it one more try through an attorney.I initially contacted the firm in early February 2013. They responded in three days requesting for documents necessary to review the case. Once I sent them the documents, they responded within a week to let me know that they will take the case. by mid-March, they let me know that they are working with the car company. Yesterday (4/16/13), I went out to my local dealership for them to buyback my car. They paid for the remaining balance of my loan, and paid me the difference in check.Throughout the whole process, Mr. Simanovsky directly communicated with me through either by phone or e-mail to let me know what was going on, which I found to be very pleasantly surprising.This was the kind of service that you always hope for, but not normally expected to receive.
