Virginia Rooney and Thomas Bramante of Philadelphia filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Jan. 21 versus Mavis Tire Supply, LLC of Philadelphia and Mavis Tire NY, LLC, of Millwood, N.Y.
During the events in question, the plaintiffs owned a 2018 Ford Escape which, prior to Aug. 23, 2020, was in good working order and covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
