§ 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.)
