The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a United States federal law. Enacted in 1975, it is the federal statute that governs warranties on consumer products.sheek360 said:thats actually not ment for cars, just electrical appliances like pc's iirc. it has been used to defend car modders though. if they can prove that the cams or its installation damaged what ur trying to warrantee then ur screwed.olice:
The legislative history indicates that the purpose of the Act is to make warranties on consumer products more readily understood and enforceable and to provide the Federal Trade Commission with means to better protect consumers.
The statute is remedial in nature and is intended to protect consumers from deceptive warranty practices. Consumer products are not required to have warranties, but if one is given, it must comply with the Magnuson-Moss Act.
It wasn't enacted solely because of appliances or electronic devices as you state. It is meant for any company issuing warranties on products they sell.
For a warranty claim to be denied the part must have caused or contributed to the cause for which the warranty claim was sought. It is illegal to void a warranty.
The federal minimum standards for full warranties are waived if the warrantor can show that the problem associated with a warranted consumer product was caused by damage while in the possession of the consumer, or by unreasonable use, including a failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance
