This is a multi-state form covering the subject matter of the title. Title: A Comprehensive Overview of New Mexico Complaints Involving Defective Autos, Breach of Warranty, Motor Vehicle Warranty Act, Manson Moss Act, and Punitive Damages Introduction: When a consumer purchases an automobile, they have certain expectations regarding its performance, reliability, and safety. However, in some unfortunate instances, these expectations may be shattered due to defects or breaches of warranty. This article will provide a detailed description of various New Mexico complaints related to defective autos, breach of warranty, the Motor Vehicle Warranty Act, the Manson Moss Act, and the possibility of punitive damages. 1. Defective Auto Complaints in New Mexico: When a consumer encounters a defective auto, it refers to a vehicle that does not meet the expected standards of quality, safety, or performance. Common defects may include faulty brakes, malfunctioning airbags, electrical problems, engine failures, or transmission issues. Such defects may cause accidents, injuries, or significant financial losses for the consumer. 2. Breach of Warranty Complaints in New Mexico: A breach of warranty occurs when a manufacturer fails to honor the terms or conditions specified in the warranty agreement. In New Mexico, if a manufacturer or dealer does not fulfil its obligations, consumers can file a complaint to seek redress. Defective parts, failure to repair or replace faulty components, or delays in action are common reasons for filing a breach of warranty complaint. 3. Motor Vehicle Warranty Act (MVA): The Motor Vehicle Warranty Act, implemented on a federal level, ensures consumer protection when purchasing or leasing a new motor vehicle. In New Mexico, this act provides additional safeguards to consumers by defining the rights and remedies available for breach of warranty claims. Under the MVA, manufacturers are required to make the necessary repairs, replacements, or provide refunds within a reasonable time frame. 4. Manson Moss Warranty Act (MMA): The Manson Moss Warranty Act is another federal law designed to protect consumers in cases of breach of warranty. It applies when a written warranty accompanies a consumer product, such as a motor vehicle. The Act mandates clear and accurate warranty terms and requires manufacturers to provide effective warranty remedies. Consumers in New Mexico can use the MMA to enhance their legal claims in warranty-related disputes. 5. Different Types of Complaints: a) Defective Auto Complaint: When a consumer files a complaint after discovering defect(s) in their motor vehicle, potentially leading to accidents, damages, or personal injuries. b) Breach of Warranty Complaint: A document submitted when a manufacturer or dealer fails to honor their warranty obligations, whether through inadequate repairs, replacement delays, or other breaches. c) Motor Vehicle Warranty Act Complaint: A complaint filed specifically under the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Warranty Act, alleging non-compliance with the act's requirements. d) Manson Moss Warranty Act Complaint: A complaint filed under the Manson Moss Warranty Act, which adds a layer of protection to consumers filing breach of warranty claims. e) Punitive Damages Complaint: A separate complaint seeking punitive damages, meant to punish the manufacturer or dealer when their actions are deemed particularly egregious. Conclusion: New Mexico consumers who encounter defective autos or face breaches of warranty have legal avenues to seek compensation, repairs, or replacements. By understanding the Motor Vehicle Warranty Act, the Manson Moss Act, and the importance of filing the appropriate complaints, consumers can protect their rights and potentially be awarded punitive damages if warranted under the circumstances.
