In addition, the Crowes purchased an 18-month/18,000-mile “Mechanical Repair Agreement” (MRA). The obligated party on this extended warranty was a corporation other than CarMax. Over the course of the next year, the Crowes brought the vehicle to CarMax and other repair facilities numerous times for a variety of repairs. All repairs within the original and extended warranty periods were done at little or no cost to the Crowes. However, the Crowes lost confidence in the vehicle because of the numerous times repairs had been necessary. In May 2003, the Crowes sued CarMax, contending that CarMax had breached the implied warranty of merchantability.
