    Yes the lateer days CRA has benefitted consumers so much, you might even think the changers were manufacture suggestions, we'll give you 30 days to return something for any reason, but after that its more or less, we the manufactureres are innocent unless you can prove them guilty, rather than things should just be replaced/repaired if they do not function as intended for n years (which for high values items should be for several years), fair wear and tear excepted.
    Oh and the replacement/repairs should be warranted as is new... Thats what I'd call Consumer Rights (rather than what we now seem to have; 'Manufacturer Rights', and what ever happend to Seller responsibilities, let alone things like from Amazon, doubly let alone from Market place (who took your money..)).


    I don't think you understand the Consumer Rights Act.
    The remedy is with the retailer, not the manufacturer.

    OP is talking about a 4 year old car....
    So any rights have to be tempered with age.

    What you are wanting will see prices skyrocket as companies will need to cover this. Especially on cars, where you could just abuse it & they start a claim.
