Carling PinedaJaimes, represented by Mathew Rezvani of Rezvani Law Firm, has filed a lawsuit against Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara. The case ID is 24CV435288 and it was filed on April 15, 2024. The plaintiff alleges breach of implied warranty, breach of express warranty, and violation of the Song Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.
PinedaJaimes claims that the new 2022 Volkswagen Taos she purchased was not in a merchantable condition or safe upon delivery. She asserts that despite no misuse or modifications on her part, the vehicle failed an unreasonable number of times and did not function properly.
The plaintiff alleges that the vehicle contained multiple manufacturer defects and design defects which rendered it unsafe and virtually useless due to frequent breakdowns and safety hazards. She seeks reimbursement for the cost of financing and owning the vehicle, repairing it, attorney's fees, and a civil penalty to be determined at trial.
