PA Lemon Law Blog

Our latest success has been a Nissan Titan claim that was brought under the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act.  The vehicle was purchased with the expectation that it would last for years.  Everything was OK until the vehicle hit 20,000 miles.  After that milestone, the vehicle began to exhibit multiple problems.  Transmission slips, the check engine light, the air bag light, problems with the rotors, electrical problems and so on.  Ray contacted our office and was concerned with what we could do for him.  He had done a little research, and realized that he would not be eligible to move forward under the PA Lemon Law.  I relieved Ray’s anxiety rather quickly when I advised him that we could proceed under the federal lemon law, also know as the Magnuson Moss Act.  The Mag Moss Act carries some similar protections as the PA Lemon Law does, but it does not have a mileage limitation.  We went to work immediately and worked a settlement with Nissan that brought Ray substantial cash compensation.  Ray was able to trade the vehicle in to the dealership of his choice and purchase a new vehicle. He used the cash compensation that we provided as a down payment on the new vehicle.
