Free Case Evaluations & No Fees Until We Win
At Prestige Legal Solutions, we help drivers throughout Washington hold manufacturers accountable for defective vehicles under state and federal lemon laws. Our firm works with clients who have experienced repeated issues with various makes and models. Whether you’re driving a domestic or foreign brand, if your car is still under the original warranty and suffering from ongoing defects, we’re here to help you take action.
This lemon car list highlights the manufacturers we most commonly see in Washington lemon law claims, including some of the brands most frequently associated with recurring defects.
Vehicle Manufacturers We Work With
We handle lemon law claims involving a wide range of vehicle brands. While some manufacturers may appear more frequently in lemon law cases due to high sales volume, all manufacturers are subject to the same consumer protection laws. If your vehicle qualifies under Washington’s lemon law, we’re prepared to pursue compensation on your behalf, no matter the brand.
FORD
Ford vehicles are a frequent subject of lemon law claims, particularly models with recurring transmission, electrical, or engine-related issues. From the Ford Escape to the Focus and F-150, consumers have reported problems including hard shifting, power loss, and infotainment failures. If your Ford has been in the shop multiple times for the same problem and the issue remains unresolved, you may be eligible to file a lemon law claim in Washington.
CHEVROLET
Chevrolet (a division of General Motors) has a broad lineup of vehicles, some of which have been known to experience reliability problems that can lead to lemon law disputes. Common complaints include transmission failure, electrical issues, and engine malfunctions in models like the Malibu, Equinox, and Silverado. If your Chevy has spent more time in the shop than on the road, we can help you explore your legal options under Washington lemon laws.
HYUNDAI
Hyundai vehicles have made headlines in recent years for widespread engine defects, some of which have led to class action lawsuits and nationwide recalls. Issues such as engine knocking, stalling, and oil consumption problems can be frustrating and potentially dangerous. If you own a Hyundai and have experienced repeated repair attempts with no lasting fix, you may qualify for compensation.
BMW
While BMW is known for luxury and performance, many consumers have reported issues with electrical systems, engine components, and fuel system defects in various models. Lemon law claims involving BMW often stem from warning lights, performance issues, or repeated visits to the dealership without resolution. If you’re a Washington driver who’s facing persistent problems with your BMW, we’re here to help you understand your rights.
GMC
GMC vehicles, particularly larger models like the Yukon, Acadia, and Sierra, are often involved in lemon law claims due to issues with transmissions, suspension systems, or infotainment systems. If your GMC has been back in the shop for the same repair over and over – or out of service for weeks – you may have a valid lemon law case under Washington law.
Other Manufacturers
While Ford, Chevy, Hyundai, BMW, and GMC represent many of the lemon law cases we handle, we regularly work with clients who drive other popular brands as well:
- Honda: Common issues include brake noise, infotainment glitches, and battery drain problems.
- Jeep: Frequently cited for electrical system failures, transmission hesitation, and engine stalling.
- Kia: Similar to Hyundai, many Kias have faced engine-related recalls and unresolved stalling issues.
- Nissan: Reports of CVT transmission defects and powertrain failure are common across models like the Altima, Rogue, and Sentra.
- Tesla: Although known for innovation, Tesla vehicles have had problems with autopilot malfunctions, battery issues, and build quality concerns.
If your vehicle’s problems persist despite multiple repairs – and it’s still covered under the original manufacturer’s warranty – don’t wait. Contact Prestige Legal Solutions to find out if your vehicle qualifies for a lemon law claim.
Which Car Manufacturers Produce the Most Lemons?
There’s no single manufacturer that produces only “lemons,” but some brands appear more frequently in lemon law claims due to the volume of vehicles sold and recurring problems across certain models or years.
In our experience working with Washington consumers, the brands that appear most often in lemon law cases include:
- Ford
- General Motors (Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC)
- Hyundai
- Kia
- Nissan
That said, even brands known for reliability can produce vehicles with serious defects. Whether your issue involves a safety system, drivetrain, electronics, or structural components, the key factor is whether the defect affects your vehicle’s use, value, or safety – and whether the manufacturer has failed to fix it after a reasonable number of attempts.
If you’re researching a vehicle before purchase, review customer complaints, recalls, and technical service bulletins (TSBs). And if you’re already dealing with a defective vehicle in Washington, we’re here to help you understand your options.
Get Compensation from Your Manufacturer
Owning a lemon is frustrating, but Washington’s lemon law is on your side. If your vehicle qualifies, you may be entitled to a cash settlement or other compensation from the manufacturer, depending on the severity and impact of the defect.
At Prestige Legal Solutions, we’re committed to helping Washington drivers seek justice when automakers fail to deliver on their promises. We work on a contingency basis, meaning there are no upfront costs – and you don’t pay us unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Our lemon law attorneys have successfully handled claims involving nearly every major auto manufacturer. We know how to document your case, build a strong claim, and negotiate for the compensation you deserve.
If your car, truck, or SUV is still under warranty and keeps experiencing the same issues, don’t wait for things to get worse. Reach out to Prestige Legal Solutions for a free case review, and let our Washington lemon law team help you take the next step.
