More than 20 Years of Experience Serving Southern California

A class action lawsuit enables multiple consumers who have experienced the same auto defects to combine their claims into one powerful legal action. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also fortifies your position against large automakers and their teams of attorneys.

Common examples of auto defect lawsuits include:

- Faulty transmissions or powertrains

- Defective airbag systems (including failure to deploy or unnecessary deployment)

- Electrical system malfunctions affecting safety or performance

- Engine defects leading to stalling, loss of power, or excessive oil consumption

- Faulty braking systems or ABS failures

- Defective fuel systems leading to leaks or fire risks

- Infotainment or electrical defects causing distractions or safety hazards

Even if your vehicle is out of warranty, you may still have rights under California consumer protection laws or through a nationwide settlement.

Why Join a Class Action?

Auto defect class actions help level the playing field against large corporations that might otherwise dismiss individual claims. By joining forces, consumers can:

- Increase their bargaining power against manufacturers.

- Share evidence and resources efficiently.

- Hold automakers publicly accountable for known defects.

- Potentially recover compensation for repairs, diminished vehicle value, or replacement costs.

Our firm evaluates each case meticulously to determine whether it’s best pursued as a class action or as an individual claim under California Lemon Law or vehicle fraud statutes.

What to Do if You Suspect an Auto Defect

If your car has repeated issues or a dangerous malfunction that your dealer can’t fix, it could be part of a larger defect pattern. Take these important steps to protect your rights:

- Keep all service and repair records.

- Document every visit to the dealer, including what was inspected, repaired, or replaced.

- Avoid signing away your rights.

- Do not agree to arbitration or manufacturer settlement offers without consulting a class action attorney — these can limit your ability to join a class action or recover full compensation.

- Contact an experienced class action lawyer.

Our team will determine whether your case fits into an existing lawsuit or merits the creation of a new class action on behalf of affected vehicle owners.
