CONSUMER FRAUD-CAR DEALERS                                                 

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business  Practices  Act.      
   In  provisions  setting  out  the  percentage of the cost of repair of      
   power train components to be covered by a new or used  vehicle  dealer      
   for  a  period  of 30 days from the date of delivery of the vehicle to      
   the purchasing consumer depending on the age of the  vehicle,  adds  a      
   provision  that  the  dealer  must cover 100% of the cost of repair of      
   power train components for a period of 3 days after  delivery  of  the      
   vehicle  to  the  purchasing  consumer  regardless  of  the age of the      
   vehicle,  excluding  repairs  necessitated  by  abuse,  negligence  or      
   collision.  Provides that the provision that exempts dealers from any       
   warranty upon agreement with a purchasing  consumer  does  not  exempt      
   dealers  from  the  100% coverage of power train components for 3 days      
   after delivery. Provides that a motor  vehicle  dealer  or  motor  car      
   manufacturer  may  issue a warranty or guarantee that meets or exceeds      
   these protections.  Effective January 1, 1999.
