Ayers SEEGER WEISS LLP 55 Challenger Road, 6th Floor Ridgefield Park, New Jersey 07660 (973) 639-1000 [email protected] [email protected] UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY MUHAMMAD ADNAN, individually and on behalf of all others similarly Civil Action No. ________________ situated, Plaintiff, v. CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT and DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL SUBARU CORPORATION and SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC., Defendants. Case 1:20-cv-09082 Document 1 Filed 07/17/20 Page 2 of 45 PageID: 2 Plaintiff Muhammad Adnan, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated (the “Class”), alleges the following against Subaru Corporation and Subaru of America, Inc. (“Subaru” or “Defendants”). The allegations herein are based on personal knowledge as to Plaintiff’s own conduct and are made on information and belief as to all other matters based on an investigation by counsel.1 INTRODUCTION 1. This action concerns a dangerous defect in the low-pressure fuel pump (the “Fuel Pump Defect” or “defect”) which can fail and cause Subaru’s most popular models – including the Ascent, Impreza, Legacy, and Outback – to unexpectedly stall and cause engine shut down presenting an immediate and unreasonable risk of physical injury or death. 2. Without fuel, a vehicle will lose power even if in operation. The fuel injection system uses fuel pumps to manage the flow of fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. The fuel system is one of the most basic and critical systems in every gasoline-powered vehicle sold in the United States and throughout the world because it controls speed and keeps the engine running unless until the driver chooses to turn it off.
