Händlergarantie und sporadische Fehler - belangbar machen? | Posts 16+

Does it actually make sense to provide legal advice if no guarantee is given regarding its accuracy?


Hello!
Unfortunately, there is a law in Germany called the 'Rechtsberatungsgesetz' (Law on Legal Advice). This law unfortunately prohibits providing legal advice. Binding statements are not permitted.
Consequently, I can and must!!!! not provide any guarantees regarding my statements for the reasons mentioned above; they are intended for purely informational purposes .
Furthermore, I would very much like to prevent the homeowner from receiving a warning.

If I hadn't known what I was writing (i.e., had no idea), I wouldn't have commented on it. The situation was just time-sensitive.
The correct answer would have been: Go to a consumer advice center or to your lawyer.


If you sent the corresponding fax before the warranty expired, you should first negotiate with the seller, and in that case, the warranty period will not expire. The dealer has not explicitly rejected the idea that you are entitled to a claim under the warranty, has he?

'That's correct, however, a claim must first be asserted. The buyer must request a 'repair under warranty' from the seller within the warranty period... In this case, it was very close!'

@bloeckler: What happened to that matter anyway?

Best regards,

Well, as I mentioned before, I treated the mass airflow sensor (MAF) with brake cleaner - and the effect is like a replacement. There are no more problems (loss of power), and the other symptoms of a failing MAF sensor (lack of top speed) are no longer present.

I sent the fax on Saturday, but I haven't heard anything new since then. A closer look at the purchase agreement revealed my mistaken belief: It states "warranty," but I had previously changed it in the fax to say "guarantee."

@Marcus...
Kapernaum is unfortunately completely right. Thanks to the still-valid Nazi-era law regarding legal advice, well-intentioned and selfless advice can quickly become very expensive. This wouldn't be the first forum to be shut down due to this issue.
It should be added that the advice given is of a purely general nature and does not relate to any specific case.
For the reasons mentioned above, I also prefer to refrain from giving such advice and only offer tips when I see someone about to make a big mistake.
If this turns into a legal consultation, the forum operator in particular could quickly find themselves in a difficult situation. There are countless lawyers who have nothing better to do than use Google to send out cease-and-desist letters.

Regards,

Olaf.
