The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a federal law that protects consumers when manufacturers or sellers fail to honor written warranties on consumer products, including vehicles. When a vehicle develops defects covered by a warranty and the manufacturer fails to repair the problem within a reasonable time, consumers may have legal rights under federal warranty law.

• warranty repairs are repeatedly unsuccessful
