Ms. Cerasani sued American Honda over rattles, squeaks, vibrations and other problems with her new Civic. A trial judge agreed with American Honda that Ms. Cerasani was not covered by a federal law that allows consumers to sue businesses for breach of warranty because she had leased her car rather than purchased it. But the Second District Court of Appeal overturned that decision, ruling that the federal law did cover consumers who lease cars. The 2nd DCA also certified conflict with the First District Court of Appeal, which had reached the opposite conclusion in an earlier case.
