Exercise 5

After having problems with her Mitsubishi car, Sandra Salazar had Santa Fe Mitsubishi install a used motor in it. When she picked up the car, a Mitsubishi employee told Salazar to bring the car back if she had any problems. The car was smoking when she drove it home, and two days later, after the car's oil light went on, a gas station attendant checked the oil and found that the car was totally out of oil. Salazar took the car back to Mitsubishi for repair. The car still smoked and lost oil quickly and finally would not run. When Mitsubishi would not replace the engine at no cost, Salazar sued Mitsubishi, alleging violation of an express warranty as a result of the employee's statement to bring the car back if she had any problems with it. Was the statement an express warranty?
