Riverside, CA – April 2025 — In a powerful win for California consumers, American Lemon Law Group, LLP has successfully secured a repurchase and civil penalties against Volkswagen following a hard-fought trial in Riverside County Superior Court. The verdict affirms the automaker’s violation of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, better known as California’s Lemon Law.

Trial attorneys Kyle Tracy and Caitlin Scott led the charge for the plaintiff, whose vehicle suffered from chronic and unrepairable defects. Despite numerous repair attempts, Volkswagen failed to fulfill its legal obligation to buy back the defective vehicle—prompting the need for litigation.

“This verdict reinforces what we’ve known all along,” said Managing Partner Aryan Sarbaz. “Manufacturers who choose to ignore their warranty obligations do so at their own peril. The law is clear, and our team is relentless in upholding it.”

The jury awarded not only a full statutory repurchase but also imposed civil penalties, finding that Volkswagen’s conduct was willful. The result sends a clear message: consumers have the right to expect safety, reliability, and accountability from the companies they trust.

This trial win highlights American Lemon Law Group’s unwavering commitment to justice, even when going head-to-head with global auto manufacturers. The firm has successfully recovered millions for clients across California, making it one of the most trusted names in lemon law litigation.
