A New York federal judge has refused to dismiss a potential class action brought by customers who claimed Subaru sold or leased them cars with defective odometers. The judge turned aside Subaru's argument that the Federal Odometer Act does not apply to the plaintiffs' allegations. The plaintiffs charged that the defective odometers overstated the mileage on their vehicles and thereby shortened their warranty periods, decreased resale values and, with leased automobiles, penalized drivers for "excessive mileage."
