The cost and value of a vehicle is based upon its mileage.  Under federal law, an automobile dealer is required to state the mileage on a used or new vehicle or state that the odometer reading is unknown.    When the odometer statute is violated, a legal claim can be made for:

1) violation of the state consumer fraud or deceptive practices statute, 

2) violation of the federal odometer law, and its regulations,

3) breach of  express and implied warranties.
