Walk It Through: The New Car in the Shop

A transmission that keeps failing, a month in the shop, notice to the maker, and arbitration.

A new car's transmission slips in the first months, and the dealer says it cannot find anything.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A new car bought or leased in Vermont. A used car, a motorcycle or motor home, and what the board may award are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
