Lemon law for RVs

Also keep in mind that lemon laws don't cross state lines. My sister bought a lemon minivan from a dealer in NY. A few hundred feet from the lot the check engine light came on. The dealer told her "too bad - you own it now." Long story short the thing had a history of transmission and electrical problems. State of NY wouldn't help because it was titled and registered in NJ. Dodge dealer wouldn't work on it because she didn't buy it local. Dodge corporate said dealers are independently owned and operated and they can't compel them to honor the manufactuer's warranty. She finally did find a dealer to replace the transmission. I found the electrical problem in a loose harness connector in the right front kick panel. It had left the factory that way.

Reminds me of Jeep vehicles. I live near Jeep in Toledo (Now FCA) and back in the day, when a Jeep came off the assembly line and it didn't start or it was missing parts or whatever, the vehicle was put on the side, repaired by an outside contractor and sold. FCA does the same thing today but a little differently. If a new vehicle is defective or is missing parts or has something wrong with it, Jeep's or Dodge pickup trucks or whatever, FCA relegates them to a holding lot (there is a huge one on Benore Avenue and Stickney and it's fenced in and has obscurity netting on the fences. Inside they have contractors foxing the vehicles. By contractors, I mean low paid employees, not FCA employees. They 'fix' them and then they are sold as new. Couple weeks ago a number of them caught on fire from electrical issues in that lot. Think about 20 burned up.

2 of my close friends retired from Jeep and I could tell you horror stories they related to me about what really goes on. Neither of them drive or own an FCA product. They both drive Toyota's.

Not just RV's by a long shot.

I like the video, That attorney explains it quite well. Rent one and then buy it.
