Stat. § 56:12-29","heading":"Findings, intentions.","body":"1.\tThe Legislature finds that the purchase of a new motor vehicle is a major, high cost consumer transaction and the inability to correct defects in these vehicles creates a major hardship and an unacceptable economic burden on the consumer. It is the intent of this act to require the manufacturer of a new motor vehicle, or, in the case of a new motor vehicle that is an authorized emergency vehicle, the manufacturer, co-manufacturer, or post-manufacturing modifier, to correct defects originally covered under warranty which are identified and reported within a specified period. It is the further intent of this act to provide procedures to expeditiously resolve disputes between a consumer and a manufacturer, co-manufacturer, or post-manufacturing modifier when defects in a new motor vehicle are not corrected within a reasonable time, and to provide to award specific remedies where the uncorrected defect substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the new motor vehicle.\nL.1988, c.123, s.1; amended 2009, c.324, s.1.","path":["TITLE 56 TRADE NAMES, TRADE-MARKS AND UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES"],"source_url":"https://pub.njleg.state.nj.us/statutes/STATUTES-TEXT.zip","current_through":"P.L.2025, c.405, and J.R.22","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T17:54:13Z","sha256":"d3f4f0522d26186a93c0637886ac4e8cfcde33e4ca19c8efc4a5b89f80515e0a","source_id":"us-nj","stale":true,"prev":"us-nj/n.j.-stat.-56-12-18.1","next":"us-nj/n.j.-stat.-56-12-30"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
