California court strikes down lemon law protections for used cars
The California Supreme Court ruled that only new cars with a warranty are subject to lemon laws. The court sided with FCA and denied the remedy of replacement or refund for defective Rams. When a used truck encounters serious engine problems, it has a valid powertrain warranty. Californians buying used cars with valid manufacturer warranties just got an unwelcome reality check. According to a recent ruling by the California Supreme Court, these vehicles are not protected by the state's "refund or replacement remedy" for defective cars, known as the "lemon law." var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP") { adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(" 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); The decision effectively narrows protections for used car buyers, leaving many with a financial burden if something goes wrong with their vehicles.

Need to tow trailer side underrun protection
The petitioners asked, the law requires rear underrun trailer guards, so why not the sides? August 29, 2024 — The lack of federal law requiring all vans and semitrailers to be equipped with side underrun protection should be examined because of the dangers of driving under the side of a trailer, it was said.

No specific equipment or trailer manufacturers are named in the petition. In 2021, safety regulators also received a request to investigate the impact of trailer side underrun guards and the lack of federal regulations. However,…
