NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/01/08 -- Schoengold Sporn Laitman & Lometti, P.C. announces that, in a proposed nation-wide consumer class action entitled Dewey, et al. v. Volkswagen AG, et al., No. 07-2249 (D.N.J. Apr. 1, 2008), wherein it was alleged that there were design defects in the pollen filter gasket areas, plenum drains, cowling and sunroof drains in Volkswagens of model years 1998-2006 and Audis of model years 1997-2006 which caused water to drain into the interior of the vehicles, causing damage to, among other things, the car's interior, electrical systems and transmission, Judge Faith S. Hochberg of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey has issued a decision in which she denied Volkswagen of America's ("VWOA") motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' claim for breach of implied warranty of merchantability; unjust enrichment; negligent misrepresentation; and breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing; and partially denied VWOA's motion to dismiss plaintiff's state and common law fraud claims. The Court further denied the motion to quash service on Volkswagen AG.

The plaintiffs at this time are engaged in extensive discovery, including document and interrogatory discovery.

If you purchased a Volkswagen of model years 1998-2006 or an Audi of model years 1997-2006, your rights may be affected by the decision of the Court.
