San Francisco County

Our clients, David Z. and Julianne V. are residents of Oakland, California and purchased a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee as a reward to themselves after successfully starting up their own new business. In spite of the vehicle costing over $55,000 when they purchased it from Walnut Creek Chrysler Jeep Dodge, the vehicle quickly developed a series of problematic engine and transmission issues. David and Julianne took the vehicle in for service numerous times; but Chrysler was never able to conform the vehicle to warranty. Repeatedly, the authorized Chrysler technicians advised that nothing was wrong with their vehicle and it was “operating as designed.” The lawyers at CCA handled served as their counsel in binding arbitration against FCA. Ultimately, the arbitrator found in David and Julianne’s favor, awarding them three times what they paid for the vehicle. Later, the arbitrator also ordered that Chrysler pay all of our client’s attorney’s fees and costs.

Sacramento County

Our client, Paul W., resides in Roseville, California and runs his own landscaping business. He purchased a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 from Folsom Lake Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for over $35,000 to use as part of his landscaping business. Unfortunately, Paul’s truck developed a series of very serious engine and transmission issues early on that Dodge simply could not fix. Paul took in the vehicle numerous times to Folsom Lake CDJR for service and they were never able to get things working right on his truck. Altogether, his car spent dozens of days in the shop and was presented for repair numerous times. FCA US refused to resolve his matter amicably and ultimately faced a jury of 12 in Sacramento County Superior Court. Our attorneys were able to deliver an excellent result for Paul when the jury returned and awarded him over three times what he paid for the truck. Later, the Sacramento Superior Court also ordered that Chrysler also pay all of our attorney’s fees and costs on Paul’s behalf.

Kings County

Our client, Dennis P., is a resident of Lemoore, California, and purchased a 2008 Ford F-350 for use as a work truck. Unfortunately for Dennis, after about 25,000 miles, the vehicle developed a series of engine issues, including coolant leaks, strange whiney noises emanating from the engine, oil leaks, and other serious engine problems. Over the course of years, he presented the vehicle to Ford many times for repair and they were unable to fix his engine problems. He also attempted to resolve his problems directly with Ford Motor Company; but they flatly refused to do right by their customer and repurchase his vehicle. When the attorneys at CCA became involved in the case, the Ford Motor Company agreed to pay Dennis significantly more than what he had paid for the troubled F-350 and, of course, paid all of his attorney’s fees and costs as well.

Tulare County

Our client, Martin S. resides in Tulare, California, and purchased a used 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee from Merle Stone Chevrolet in 2013.  Almost immediately after buying the vehicle, Martin’s Grand Cherokee developed a host of issues including problems with the leather on the driver’s seat and driver’s seat trim.  Later, Martin’s issues with the vehicle got much more serious when it wouldn’t start in the mornings and exhibited a loss of power when driving. We represented Martin in Tulare County Superior Court and were able to negotiate a significant settlement for him.  In the end, FCA US agreed to pay him back every dollar he spent on the car and pay him a significant penalty. Of course, our work came at no charge to him – FCA US also paid every dollar of his attorney’s fees and costs.
