Question:
William and Donna Hardy purchased a motor home in July 1993 for $38,989. The day after purchasing the motor home, the Hardys commenced a cross-country trip. The Hardys had noticed a small crack on the windshield, but the sellers of the motor home promised to fix the problem when the Hardys returned. Once on the road, the Hardys noticed a loud, clanking noise. They stopped at a dealership and were informed that the drive shaft needed to be replaced. The dealer told the Hardys that this replacement could be done after they completed the trip. The Hardys continued their trip but soon noticed a burning smell. They went to another dealership, and the mechanic worked on the drive shaft. The burning smell was no longer present, but the motor home continued to make loud noises. When the Hardys finally reached California, they took the Winnebago to a third dealer. The mechanic declined to perform any repairs on the motor home. The Hardys called the Winnebago hotline to see whether it was safe to continue driving the motor home. They were told that it was safe to drive the vehicle home. The Hardys returned home after putting 7,500 miles on the motor home. Hardy took the motor home to the original dealer, but he was told that it would take a few months to make the necessary repairs. Hardy demanded a refund from Winnebago. Did Hardy demonstrate revocation of acceptance? How do you think the court decided?
