Auto Warranty Laws
Auto warranty laws vary by state but are all covered under the Magnuson-Moss act that was enacted by Congress in response to the widespread misuse by merchants of express warranties and disclaimers.
Auto warranty laws come in two categories, the first one covers new cars and the second one covers used cars. The new car warranty is given to brand new cars and it takes care of the basic components such as drive train, brake mechanism, power train, steering system and engine. The used car warranty or aftermarket auto warranty is given to pre-owned cars and covers the same items as the new car warranty.
Under auto warranty law a warranty is an obligation that a warranty sold is as factually stated or legally implied by the seller, and that often provides for a specific remedy such as repair or replacement in the event the article or service fails to meet the warranty. A breach of warranty occurs when the promise is broken, i.e., a product is defective or not as should be expected by a reasonable buyer.
