Plaintiffs Claim Google Failed to Offer Refund or Replacement
Class action lawsuits are being filed on behalf of owners of Google Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones. According to a proposed class-action lawsuit filed on February 6, 2018, Google Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones allegedly contain a manufacturing defect that potentially “compromises the phone’s core functionality, preventing consumers from communicating by voice call and from using features like Google Assistant.”
Plaintiffs in the complaint claim that they complained directly to Google about issues with their phone’s microphones, and that other consumers have issued complaints about microphone and audio failures. In March 2017, Google confirmed that some Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones were experiencing microphone problems. The company stated that the problems are caused by “a hairline crack in the solder connection on the audio codec” and a “faulty microphone.”
According to the class action, Google allegedly replaced defective phones with other defective phones instead of providing customers with a refund or replacing the Pixels with non-defective phones. Likewise, despite the growing volume of complaints, and Google’s knowledge that the problems resulted from a systemic hardware defect related to the manufacturing process, Google refused to provide its customers with satisfactory warranty service.
