Would the back glass be covered under the AZ implied warranty on used vehicles?
My insurance won’t cover a heat blow out of my back glass in my recently purchased minivan. Would it be covered under the implied warranty in the state of Arizona?
What do you think? I’m betting “NO!”
When you purchase a product, a car for example, you may or may not get a written (express) warranty from the business you purchased it from. They may not offer a warranty on the product, or they may offer a warranty if you pay extra for it. Fair enough. No extra money – no written warranty. But what about an implied warranty? An implied warranty is not written, but is created by law in the state in which you live. Under the Uniform Commercial Code, adopted in most states, a buyer of a car gets – for free – an implied warranty that the car will run. If it does not run then under the implied warranty the dealer must fix it! However the law permits dealers to disclaim implied warranties as long as they tell you that. That is why you see in every used car window a big piece of paper plastered there telling you they disclaim ALL implied warranties.
To review – when you purchase a used car from a dealer the UCC gives you an implied warranty by operation of law, you get it – free and automatically. The dealer has the freedom, though, to take the implied warranty away from you by simply letting you know, thus the big paper in the window saying AS-IS! NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES!
Under the Arizona lemon law the dealer’s disclaimer cannot take effect until either 15 days have passed after the sale or the car has been driven 500 miles. Any time that the car is in the repair shop during the first fifteen days or five hundred miles does not count. Example: Harry bought a used car from Shiny New Motors on February 1. On February 3rd the car broke down and Harry took it back to Shiny New. It sat in the shop for ten days awaiting parts and technicians to fix it. The ten days it sat in the shop does not count toward the fifteen days of the implied warranty. Also – Harry drove the car 20 miles to get to the shop for the repairs. Those 20 miles do not count toward the five hundred. For those of you who want to wrestle with the wording of the law here it is:
