DiTommaso Lubin Files Amicus Brief in Illinois Supreme Court on Behalf of the National Association of Consumer Advocates and Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety
Our firm today filed an amicus brief or friend of the court brief in the on behalf of the National Association of Consumer Advocates and Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety in an important consumer rights case and commercial law case, arising out of an interpretation of a provision of the Uniform Commercial Code. That provision expressly allows for consumers to revoke acceptance of and return for a full refund a product with hidden defects without having to allow the seller the opportunity to repair the defects. The express language of UCC requires this result yet the trial and the appellate court ignored the plain language of the UCC and that the majority of states interpret this provision of the UCC to allow for revocation of acceptance without any opportunity to cure. The Illinois Supreme Court decisions dictate that Illinois should follow the majority view of the other States in interpreting UCC provisions.
This case involves an RV that Plaintiffs bought in April for a summer vacation. When the RV turned out to be allegedly defective (massive water leaks), and when, by August, the RV Dealer/Warrantor allegedly would not give an estimate as to when it would repair the RV, and allegedly refused to “cure,” Plaintiffs revoked acceptance and canceled their contract.

Certified Pre-Owned Car Fraud — Best Chicago Oak Brook and Naperville Auto-Fraud Lawyers
We represent consumers who have brought Certified Pre-Owned Used Car Owners which is a rebuilt wreck. We have brought suit against many different manufacturers, such as Ford and GM, who have not stood behind the certification inspection which warrants that the used car was “like new” and thus had never been in a serious accident. In fact, the multi-point inspection missed that the used car had frame or other structural damage yet even though it passed the manufacturer refuses to stand behind the inspection claiming that the used car dealer, not the manufacturer is responsible for the inspection. Our position is that this is a fraudulent position and we pursue alleged claims against the manufacturer based on this legal position for all the consumers’ damages plus attorneys fees and punitive damages.
Flooded Cars Expected to Swamp the Market due to Texas and Florida Hurricanes — Our Chicago Auto Fraud Lawyers File Suits For Flood Cars
The New York Times is reporting that consumers need to beware that flood vehicles will be dumped on the market due to the Hurricanes in Florida and Texas. The article provides the following guidance on how to avoid purchasing a flood vehicle:
Consumer Reports has suggested tips for identifying cars that may have spent time underwater. A buyer or mechanic should look for these telltale signs:
■ Caked-on mud and a musty odor from the carpets. New carpets in an older vehicle may be another red flag.
■ A visible water line on the lens or reflector of the headlights.
■ Mud or debris trapped in difficult-to-clean places, such as gaps between panels in the trunk and under the hood.
■ Rusty exposed screws under the dashboard. Unpainted metal in flood cars will show signs of rust.
■ Rubber drain plugs under the car and on the bottom of doors that have been removed. That may have been done to drain floodwater.
