Mydlach v. DaimlerChrysler Corp.

Lucy Mydlach (plaintiff) bought a Daimler (defendant) car with a three-year limited warranty obligating Daimler to repair or replace defective parts, and after allegedly unsuccessful repair attempts during the warranty period, she sued under the Magnuson-Moss Act roughly five years after the car's original delivery. The circuit court granted Daimler summary judgment as untimely under the UCC's four-year limitations period (measured from delivery), the appellate court reversed, and Daimler appealed.
