v. GENERAL MOTORS LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, et. al.
Subject Vehicle: 2022 Chevrolet TAHOE, VIN: 1GNSKNKT5NR136657
Manufacturer Defendant: GENERAL MOTORS LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company
Breach of Express Warranty: Summary of Claim & Damages
Manufacturer Defendant entered into an express warranty contract with Plaintiff(s), in which Manufacturer
Defendant agreed to repair defects resulting from manufacturing or workmanship in the Subject Vehicle
during the prescribed warranty periods.
Plaintiff(s) delivered the Subject Vehicle to Defendant’s authorized repair facilities multiple times during the
warranty period. Manufacturer Defendant and its authorized repair facilities failed to repair the vehicle after
a reasonable number of opportunities to do so. Manufacturer Defendant violated the Song-Beverly Consumer
Warranty Act by not promptly repurchasing the vehicle after being given a reasonable number of
opportunities to repair the vehicle.
Plaintiff is seeking all damages, including reimbursement for the price paid or payable by Plaintiff as
reflected on the Retail Installment Sales Contract ($77,984.64) including any charges for transportation and
manufacturer-installed options, and any collateral charges such as sales or use tax, license fees, registration
fees, and other official fees, plus any incidental damages (estimated to be between $3,000 and $5,000), as
to the breach of express warranty, Plaintiff(s) seek statutory restitution described by Civil Code section
1793(d)(2)(B), incidental and consequential damages, prejudgment interest, reasonable attorney fees and
costs of suit, general, and special and actual damages, according to proof at trial. Plaintiff(s) also seek civil
penalties in an amount not to exceed two times the actual damages in the case.
Breach of Implied Warranty: Summary of Claim & Damages
The Subject Vehicle was not merchantable and therefore in violation of the Song Beverly Act’s Implied
Warranty of merchantability. Plaintiff(s) revoked acceptance of the Subject Vehicle prior to and at the time
of filing of the complaint and therefore seek monetary damages described in Civil Code section 1794,
Commercial Code sections 2711 (so much of the price as has been paid and any expenses reasonably
incurred in their inspection, receipt, transportation, care, and custody), and 2712 (cover damages),
incidental, consequential damages, prejudgment interest, reasonable attorney fees and costs of suit
according to proof at trial.
