BECKLEY – A Beckley man alleges a Jeep he purchased has issues that impair its use and market value.
Shane Sarrett filed a complaint Aug. 2 in Raleigh Circuit Court against FCA US LLC alleging that the automobile manufacturer violated its obligations under Chapter 46A-6A-6 of the West Virginia Code, more commonly known as the Lemon Law.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Aug. 20, 2014, he purchased a new 2014 Jeep Cherokee vehicle from defendant's authorized dealer for $56,894. After purchase, plaintiff alleges he experienced repeated nonconformities with the vehicle and that such nonconformities substantially impaired its use.
The plaintiff holds FCA US LLC responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to bring the vehicle to confirm with the warranty despite numerous attempts.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks revocation of acceptance and refund of the purchase price and other reasonable expenses, cost of repairs and other incidental damages, litigation costs and such other and further relief. He is represented by Anthony M. Salvatore of Hewitt & Salvatore PLLC in Fayetteville. The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge Robert A. Burnside Jr.
