Buyers
of faulty electrical products including used cars get a valuable
legal avenue to explore under the Magnuson
Moss Warranty Act.
While many lemon laws cover new cars, the protection doesn’t extend
to used cars. Pre-owned car owners can invoke the mandates of the
federal Magnuson Moss Act. This way, they get to claim relief for
wrongful violation of warranties associated with a particular
product, including a pre-owned car.
1
– Make sure that you get the car serviced at intervals recommended
by the manufacturer, at their own workshop. So if the engine stalls
due to irregular or infrequent oil changes then the manufacturer
won’t be held responsible for the recurring issues with the car
that cannot be fixed.
2
– Make sure you get warranties written explicitly in writing when
you buy a second hand car. This will protect you against recurring
problems that can classify a car as a lemon had it been a brand new
car.
3
– When you do routine DIY tasks like oil changes, make sure to keep
all bills and receipts for the works done. They may serve as valuable
documentation when you need to file a claim for wrongdoing under the
Magnuson Moss Act.
4
– In case any action contravenes with the manufacturer
specification for optimal operation, it may void the warranty. As a
result, you may not be eligible for any claims under the federal
laws.
These
were some tips
to get maximum benefits out of the federal Magnuson Moss Act.
