Odometer Fraud Is Against The Law
Odometer fraud is not just unethical. It is also illegal under federal law. The Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act, commonly known as the Federal Odometer Act, puts strict rules on dealers, including:
- Prohibiting odometer tampering
- Mandating the disclosure of inaccurate odometer readings
- Mandating adherence to specific procedures when repair work affects odometer readings
If you suspect a dealer violated this federal law, attorney Roseman can help you understand your rights and explore your legal options.
What Compensation Is Available?
Victims of odometer fraud can seek compensation under the Federal Odometer Act. You may be entitled to the larger of: $10,000 or triple the amount of your damages. Attorney Roseman is ready to fight for the full compensation you deserve under this law. She can also help you identify and pursue any other avenues for compensation that may be available through state laws against odometer fraud.
Red Flags Of Odometer Tampering
Odometer fraud can be difficult to detect. There are, however, warning signs you can watch for. These include:
- Missing screws near the odometer panel
- Mechanics reporting inconsistencies with the odometer reading
- A vehicle being in much rougher shape then would be expected given its supposed mileage
- Early breakdown of auto parts, suggesting higher actual mileage
If you notice such red flags or other suspicious things regarding your odometer, attorney Roseman can advise you on the next steps.
