Rules against false claims and forced add-ons

This section bans warrantors and their agents from lying or leaving out important facts in warranties or ads. It also stops warrantors from making you buy a vehicle protection product that isn't already on the car as a condition of the sale or loan.

The statute, as written — Prohibited acts

(a) A warrantor or a warrantor's representative, in the warrantor's vehicle protection product warranty or in an advertisement or literature for the warranty, may not: (1) Make, permit, or cause to be made any false or misleading statement; or (2) Deliberately omit a material statement that would be considered misleading if omitted. (b) A warrantor may not require, as a condition of sale or financing, that a retail purchaser of a motor vehicle purchase a vehicle protection product that is not installed on the motor vehicle at the time of sale.
