Pyle v. Keystone RV Company, et al.
Aug 15, 2016OUTCOME: Verdict for plaintiff on both breach of express warranty and breach of implied warranty in the amount of $104,916.08, plus attorney's fees and costs..
Plaintiff purchased a toy hauler RV brand new for approximately $60,000.00. On the first trip taken with the RV, its rubber roof started coming off of the RV. In order to keep the roof from coming co ... mpletely off, plaintiff taped the roof to secure it. The fist trip with the RV was cut short due to the defective roof. The RV was then delivered to an authorized repair facility for warranty repairs upon the roof. The repairs to the roof were improperly performed as the roof was extremely uneven, discolored and had hundreds of wood protrusions showing through the rubber roof. Both the RV manufacturer and repair facility refused to perform further repairs to the RV roof. Plaintiff filed a lawsuit in June of 2015 against against the RV manufacturer and selling dealer alleging breaches of express and implied warranties in violation of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Lemon Law). No settlement offer was made by either defendant either prior to litigation or during the litigation. A jury trial was held in August of 2016.
