Govt should consider introducing Lemon Law for defective products, says consumer group

PETALING JAYA: There are still car owners who are forced to send their rides for multiple repairs even though these vehicles are less than a year old, said a consumers group, highlighting the need for stronger laws to protect buyers as Friday marks World Consumer Rights Day (March 15).

Defects on new vehicles and the subpar quality of automobile parts still form a big chunk of complaints that were received by The National Consumer Complaints Centre, said its chief executive officer Datuk Indrani Thuraisingham.
