Ron Blasco Real Estate v. FCA US CA4/2
Appellants Blasco Real Estate, Inc. and Ron Blasco (Blasco) sued FCA US, LLC (Chrysler) for fraudulent concealment of problems with the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) component of the 2011 Dodge Durango that Blasco purchased in June 2011. He also brought a claim under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Song-Beverly Act), Civil Code section 1790 et seq. (the “lemon law” statute) based on Chrysler’s refusal to refund the purchase price when it became evident the car had substantial defects. He sought compensatory damages, punitive damages, and a civil penalty available under the Song-Beverly Act for willful refusal to refund the purchase price.
