:
NEW MOTOR VEHICLE ARBITRATION











 

§

4170. Legislative intent

The Legislature

finds and declares that manufacturers, distributors, and importers of new motor

vehicles should be obligated to provide speedy and less costly resolution of

automobile warranty problems. Manufacturers should be required to provide in as

expeditious a manner as possible a refund of the consumer's purchase price or

payments to a lessor and lessee or a replacement vehicle that is acceptable to

the consumer whenever the manufacturer is unable to make the vehicle conform

with its applicable warranty. New motor vehicle dealers and used motor vehicle

dealers cannot be sued under this chapter. (Added 1983, No. 211 (Adj. Sess.), §

1; amended 1987, No. 242 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
