Abstract
The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides consumers the opportunity to seek relief when automobile manufacturers or dealerships do not honor their written warranties, implied warranties, or service contracts. In the March 2006 case Parrot v. DaimlerChrysler Corp. the Arizona Supreme Court considered whether the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act allows an automobile lessee to seek relief under the statute. In addition, the court examined whether the Arizona Motor Vehicle Warranties Act3 provides a remedy for an automobile lessee. Applying principles of statutory interpretation, the court found no relief available for an automobile lessee under either the federal or state law. Thus, the court concluded, in a unanimous opinion, that a person leasing an automobile from a dealer who ultimately plans to resell the car has neither statutory remedy for a lemon automobile.
