CODE OF VIRGINIA

INTENT (§ 59.1-207.10)

The General Assembly recognizes that a motor vehicle is a major consumer
purchase, and there is no doubt that a defective motor vehicle creates a
hardship for the consumer. It is the intent of the General Assembly that a good
faith motor vehicle warranty complaint by a consumer should be resolved by the
manufacturer, or its agent, within a specified period of time. It is further the
intent of the General Assembly to provide the statutory procedures whereby a
consumer may receive a replacement motor vehicle, or a full refund, for a motor
vehicle which cannot be brought into conformity with the express warranty issued
by the manufacturer. However, nothing in this chapter shall in any way limit the
rights or remedies which are otherwise available to a consumer under any other
law.
