LAWSUIT'S ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HAYWARD TOYOTA
The Hayward Toyota lawsuit arose out of Ms. Gordon-Brown's purchase of a Volkswagen Jetta from Hayward Toyota on October 23, 2011. Shortly thereafter, Ms. Gordon-Brown's lemon law attorney Michael R. Vachon, Esq. filed a complaint in the Alameda County Superior Court alleging, in part, that Hayward Toyota had violated California's Automobile Sales Finance Act and lemon law statute. More specifically, lemon law attorney Vachon's complaint alleged that Hayward Toyota had deliberately falsified the down payment amounts in Ms. Gordon-Brown's purchase contract in order to get her an auto finance loan for which she otherwise would not have qualified. The complaint filed by Ms. Gordon-Brown's lemon law lawyer also alleged that Hayward Toyota breach the implied warranty of merchantability imposed by California's lemon law as a result of the fact that the Volkswagen Jetta became inoperable shortly after Ms. Gordon-Brown purchased it.
SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATED BY HAYWARD TOYOTA AND CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW LAWYER
Ms. Gordon-Brown's lemon law lawyer has announced that under the settlement, Toyota of Hayward has agreed to repurchase the Volkswagen Jetta and give back all of the money that Ms. Gordon-Brown paid for it.
