WINFIELD — Consumers are suing a car manufacturer, citing alleged breach of implied warranty, breach of express warranty and violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act.

Connie J. Montgomery and Sheila G. Waugh filed a complaint in Putnam Circuit Court against General Motors LLC alleging that it failed to deliver a vehicle fit for its intended use.

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that on May 16, 2016, they purchased a new 2016 Chevrolet Cruze that was manufactured by the defendant for $23,930.82. Subsequently, they experienced serious defects with the vehicle including stalling and failure to restart, and suffered further damages such as loss of use of the vehicle, aggravation, annoyance and inconvenience because of the defendant's ineffective attempts to timely repair the defective vehicle. 

The plaintiffs hold General Motors LLC responsible because it allegedly failed to comply with terms of the express warranties and impaired the vehicle's use, safety and value because of its failure to effectively repair the defects.

The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and seek judgment against the defendant for damages and awarding of consequential and/or incidental damages, costs, attorneys' fees, interest and general relief as the Court may deem just. They are represented by Christina Gill Roseman of Roseman Law Firm PLLC in Pittsburgh.
