4370 REVIEW DENIED Evidence that a leak in the plumbing of a new travel trailer persisted after several attempts to repair it was sufficient to justify the jury's conclusion that the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act was violated; the manufacturer was not entitled to a new series of opportunities to repair water damage resulting from the leak; although a purchaser ordinarily is not entitled to a house call for repairs, defendant's voluntarily undertaking to repair the defective trailer at plaintiff's premises satisfied the presentation requirement of the Act; damages available under the Act may include finance charges incurred in the purchase; a lodestar multiplier was found to have been based on double consideration of the same factors when the trial court calculated attorney fees.CitationROBERTSON v FLEETWOOD (Leaky Trailer) 144 CA4 785 [See: CivC 1790 etseq; Oregel v American Isuzu 90 CA4 1094, P/AT 9/01; Silvio v Ford 109 CA4 1205, T/AT 7/03]
