Lemon Law / House Bill 4841 (update: House passes ‘lemon’ bill) [Merged]

[enot]

ever heard the lemon law na pinagaaralang isabatas ngayon?

napakinggan ko lang 'to sa BAHALA SI TULFO kaninang umaga. nagkaroon yata ng experience si sen. ralph recto about a lemon car kaya they are planning to pass a law regarding "lemon products".

sa tate kasi protected ang consumers ng lemon law kaya they can easily had a replacement for the lemon product that they got.

sana maisabatas kaagad ito para maprotektahan ang mga consumers at lalo pang mapaganda ang serbisyo ng mga manufacturers dito sa pinas.

[natasatanas]

sana nga magka-roon nyan dito. sobrang panalo tayo mga consumers nyan! eto short info re lemon law sa states:

Sa pinas kasi mas protektado ang mga manufacturers simply because they put in the $$$$ needed by our country. IMO, mahihirapang ipasa ang lemon law sa atin. Kailangan kasi ng consumer awareness at education about lemon law. Di pwede yung basta nasira lang, punta agad sa dealer at papalitan na which I believe will happen pag nagkaroon tayo ng lemon law. Malaking kasayangan sa oras ang implementation nito lalo't hindi educated ang consumer sa lemon law.

Sana nga lang maging priority ang consumer sa atin at gawing law ito. Wala kasi tayong kalaban laban dyan e. In reality, talagang malaki ang maitutulong ng lemon law not only on the quality ng mga products but also sa quality ng service ng mga manufacturers. Kikita din mga lawyers, hehehe.

Dapat lang naman talaga na may LEMON LAW to protect the public. Hindi naman yata madaling kitain yung pera even sub-1M na mga sasakyan ngayon especially sa economic situation ng Pinas.

Masakit din yata yung malaman mo na sirain ang binigay sa yo especially when it impairs its use, risks your personal/family safety, and then ultimately- sharply decreases the value of the vehicle.

It's about time.

One of the 4x4wire forumers just had his wife's Lexus RX re-purchased by Lexus at full price (including tax, title, registration, etc.) because it was a lemon under SC law.

Maybe he should have just stayed with Mitsubishis in the first place. hehehe.

Senate panel summons Mitsubishi head over 'lemon' cars

A Senate panel has called on the president of Mitsubishi Motor Philippines Corp. (MMPC) in connection with its probe on defective cars allegedly sold by the company, abs-cbnNEWS.com learned Friday.


Aside from MMPC president Kengo Takase, also summoned to appear before the Senate committee on trade and commerce are officials of Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (Campi) and dealers Union Motor Corp. and Diamond Motor Corp. The next hearing is set next week.


The hearing was prompted after Alagad Rep. Rodante Marcoleta and anchorman Gene Orejana of ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) complained about the defective Mitsubishi Pajeros that they have purchased, as well as the reported inability of regulators to help them.


“The Consumer Act provides that the consumer arbitration officer may summon witnesses, administer oaths, issue subpoenas, rule upon offers of proof and receive relevant evidence, cause deposition to be taken, regulate the course of the hearing, rule on any procedural request or similar matter and decide the complaint,” Sen. Mar Roxas, committee chairman, said.


He said the investigation will also determine if the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has acted properly on the matter.


“The principal action resides in the DTI. So we have to find out in the next hearing what is keeping the agency from deciding the complaints,” Roxas, who served as DTI secretary before joining the Senate, said.


In the previous hearing, Roxas required automotive industry representatives present, including Toyota Motors Philippines Corp., Honda Cars Philippines Inc., and Ford Groups Philippines Inc., to submit reports on the complaints they received from their clients in the last three years and the action taken to address the complaints.


The Senate panel will also tackle problems encountered by buyers of brand new and used motor vehicles and discussed remedies to protect consumers’ rights against fraudulent warranties.
