16. 26CV01040 Turri, Daniel Eugene James v. Volkswagen Group of America Inc.

EVENT: Defendant Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.’s Demurrer to Plaintiff’s Complaint

First and Fourth Causes of Action As Defendant noted, these causes of action are essentially duplicative as they seek remedies for failure to repurchase or replace after a reasonable number of attempts. Regarding Defendant’s argument that the Complaint fails to sufficiently allege the vehicle was new for purposes of Rodriguez v. FCA US LLC (2024) 17 Cal.5th 189, the Court disagrees. The Court finds paragraph 10 sufficiently alleges a new vehicle as that term is defined in Rodriguez. Defendant contends that pursuant to Civ.

Code 1791.2 the complaint must identify the authorized retail entity that sold Plaintiff the vehicle. Nowhere in section 1791.2 does it require Plaintiff to identify the identity of the retailer at the pleading stage. From a practical perspective, if the vehicle was sold from an unauthorized retailer the chances that it is actually a new vehicle pursuant to Rodriguez is probably slim, but there is no authority for sustaining a demurrer on this ground. Section 1971.2 contemplates a warranty from a manufacturer or retailer, and paragraph 10 adequately alleges Plaintiff received a warranty from the manufacturer. 6|Page
