A federal statute, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, requires sellers of consumer products to meet certain standards in the warranties they place on goods.
Many states have lemon laws that concern the rights of consumers if they buy a vehicle that turns out to have problems that cannot be fixed in a reasonable number of attempts. Sales of goods are also covered by the UCC or possibly by the common law. The Edwards bought a new Hyundai that had a six-year, 72,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. It had multiple problems over the next two years plus and, despite many repair attempts, still had problems. The Edwards sued for breach of written warranty, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, violation of the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, and violation of the Missouri Lemon Law. Can all of these claims, based on different sources of law, be brought together?
