HB2389: vehicle sales; emergency stop; prohibition
Sponsor: Representative Kolodin, LD 3
Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure
Overview
Prohibits a motor vehicle from being sold or leased in this state if the motor vehicle has a mechanism that allows a person who is not the owner of the motor vehicle and who does not have the motor vehicle's physical key to remotely shut off the motor vehicle.
History
If a sale or lease of a motor vehicle from a motor vehicle dealer or a lessor to a customer is conditioned on final approval of financing by a lender or lessor, the motor vehicle dealer or lessor must retain title and possession of any motor vehicle traded by a customer as part of the transaction until financing is finally approved or the traded motor vehicle is returned to the customer. Any remedy for a violation of requirements relating to motor vehicle transactions may not be waived, modified or limited by agreement or contract.
If a motor vehicle dealer charges a document fee for a motor vehicle transaction, the motor vehicle dealer must clearly and conspicuously disclose in its advertisement for a motor vehicle that a document fee will be charged for a motor vehicle transaction (A.R.S. § 44-1371).
