Subaru deals with Lemon Law Claims

By the Nowland Business Law Watch

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.
