Mark DiCintio, Respondent v. DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Appellants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act does not apply to Mark DiCintio’s automobile lease because a lease is not a sale and therefore the lessee is not a “consumer” under the Act. The court reversed the Appellate Division’s decision and dismissed the plaintiff’s first three causes of action.
