Mazda Files Motion to Dismiss CX-7 VVT Lawsuit - CarComplaints.com
— Maxda has filed a motion to dismiss a Mazda CX-7 variable valve timing (VVT) lawsuit that alleges the automaker concealed a defect that caused VVT-related failures. The Mazda CX-7 VVT lawsuit was filed by James Stevenson , who bought a new 2008 CX-7 which provided warranty coverage for 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever occurred first. Stevenson alleges that although he received notice that Mazda had extended the warranty coverage for the VVT assembly, Mazda refused to fix the VVT assembly when the CX-7 broke down in November 2013. In the VVT lawsuit, Stevenson claims he... Mazda says the extended warranty notice is clear that “if the noise is caused by poor vehicle maintenance (insufficient oil changes or using engine oil of viscosity lower than 5W-30), this warranty extension does not apply. Stevenson claims he paid $3,384. 87 for an unrelated turbocharger assembly repair and $960. 02 for a rental car, however, Mazda says the plaintiff does not allege how much he paid to have the VVT in his vehicle repaired or whether he even had it... Mazda says the claims of consumer fraud, breach of implied warranty and concealment should all be dismissed because the plaintiff fails to allege facts to satisfy the pleading requirements to establish any of the claims.
