Buyers of motor vehicles in the U.S. can rely on so-called “lemon laws” to help resolve disputes with dealers concerning problems with their cars. Few Canadians know about the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan, established, and funded 14 years ago by major Canadian auto manufacturers.
Don Miller, a Kingston, Ontario resident, bought a new Ford Mustang in 2006. The car soon began to experience uncontrolled power surges which ultimately caused a minor accident. The dealer took the car in for tests which failed to detect the problem. Receiving no further support from the dealer, Miller contacted Canadian Motor Vehicle Plan officials. CAMVAP set up an arbitration tribunal hearing in Kingston for Miller and a representative from Ford. The tribunal immediately ordered Ford to buy back the Mustang, less depreciation for mileage registered on the car since the time of purchase. This process requires no lawyers and no fees. The arbitrator may, if appropriate, order a dealer to repair a vehicle, or dismiss the claim if it is unwarranted as determined by an independent mechanical inspection.

TheAirCar—A revolution in automotive technology
How would you like to buy a car with a fiberglass body that won’t rust, an engine that runs on compressed air in the city and fossil fuels elsewhere, and a driving range close to 2000 km? French engineering genius Guy Negre has developed the revolutionary MDI MiniCat which meets those specifications. The company has constructed several prototypes and is in the process of establishing plants for the production and distribution of engines and vehicles.
This vehicle has attracted the interest of governments around the world, struggling with the problems of air pollution and high energy costs. The air coming out of this car’s tail pipe will be cleaner than the air injected into its compressed air tank. Some MiniCat owners are planning to recharge their cars with home compressors driven by solar and wind energy—thereby reducing the need for fossil fuels. The small size of the MiniCat makes it ideal for urban use—nimble and easy to park. The company has plans for other models, larger in size, for use as taxis, mini-buses, and delivery vehicles.
The site offers potential investors the chance to contribute to the growth of the company. One section of the site enables interested persons to receive no-obligation information on the purchase of MiniCats.
