Right to Repair Bill Reintroduced WASHINGTON, DC (May 19, 2009) -- Earlier this spring, in announcing the government's blueprint for saving the big three automakers, President Obama said, "The United States government will stand behind your (car) warranty."  While it's unlikely many car owners would trust the federal government with an engine overhaul, a bipartisan bill called the Right to Repair Act of 2009 has just been introduced in the House of Representatives that would, in fact, make it cheaper and easier for millions of consumers to have their cars repaired.
