In this lawsuit, the Plaintiffs, Charles and Vivian Miller, claim that the Volkswagen Jettas for model years 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 have defects in the design and construction. Plaintiffs claim that, due to the design and construction of the Jetta, the front bumper assembly will be damaged if, after the Jetta is parked over a curb, tire stop or tire barrier, the vehicle is backed away. The plastic pieces under the vehicle are trapped between the car and the curb, tire stop or tire barrier causing the front bumper to pull away from the Jetta. Plaintiffs claim that such damage should be paid for because of Volkswagen’s New Car Warranty and/or the implied warranties of merchantability.

Plaintiffs seek to recover money damages from Volkswagen for your costs of the repairs, if any were not paid for or reimbursed by Volkswagen.

Defendant Volkswagen of America, Inc. denies these allegations.

No final ruling has been made in these claims. However, the Court and the Court of Appeals for Erie County have determined that this matter may proceed as a class action.
