The lawsuit alleges failures in electrical and safety systems since the delivery of the vehicle in February 2022. The case gained prominence after an incident in August 2024, when the external audio system, essential for the driver to listen to external sounds due to high inner noise, failed, almost resulting in a collision with an ambulance.
According to the owner, the flawed system prevented him from hearing the emergency vehicle siren, which only did not end in an accident thanks to the ambulance driver maneuver. It also reports constant failures in the high voltage electrical system, dashboard error messages and withdrawal, without permission, of an important suspension part during maintenance. In addition, the car would have suffered damage to the body during transport for review.
Aston Martin denies the accusations and argues that the vehicle is within the technical specifications. The manufacturer admits the possibility of repurchase, but requires a rate of $ 63.8 thousand, claiming to use the car, which rode only 440 km.
The dispute also revolves around the jurisdiction of the case: while he runs in German court, the brand tries to take him to the UK, where the contract was signed and the car was manufactured.
