LOS ANGELES – This week Subaru was taken to court in Los Angeles after two customers believed that their 2016 XV Subaru Crosstrek was wrongfully denied warranty coverage. A complaint filed in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles details that the two customers believe that they did not use their vehicle unreasonably or in ‘unintended’ ways; yet began having mechanical problems. The mechanical problems were described as “substantially impair[ing] the use, value and safety” of the car.
Surendra and Sudha Sahgal had apparently brought the vehicle in for repairs under warranty, which Subaru allegedly denied taking responsibility for. Subaru will have to defend or negotiate the ‘lemon law’ claim. This is not the only case Subaru is dealing with. Approximately 17 other cases involving an individual plaintiff filing a lawsuit against Subaru under a contract claim have begun in the last 30 days.
The plaintiffs are seeking over $35,000 and other costs such as attorney fees, statutory damages and court expenses.
