The Spectre Saga: Auto Outlets Report on Case Against Rolls-Royce, Texas Dealership

February 6, 2026 – National automobile platforms reported today on a lawsuit by Brewer client Marci Donovitz against Rolls-Royce and Texas authorized dealership Avondale Dealership over a defective Rolls-Royce Spectre, a new electric vehicle model from the luxury car company.

Filed in the 134th Judicial District Court of Dallas County Texas on February 3, 2025, the lawsuit asserts claims for breach of contract, breach of express and implied warranties, deceptive trade practices, and unjust enrichment under Texas law.

As reported by Carscoops, “According to the filing, the vehicle ‘experienced a sudden and serious malfunction’ in October, just months after delivery. The plaintiff claims the EV would ‘soon become inoperable’ and sent it to the dealer for inspection.”

Carscoops reports that “the dealership reportedly informed her [Ms. Donovitz] by text that parts had been ordered, but were on backorder with no estimated delivery date. After 40 days with no progress, Donovitz retained legal counsel and sent a letter to Rolls-Royce requesting that it repurchase the vehicle and issue a refund. The company declined. As of February, the lawsuit states, the Spectre remains in the possession of Avondale Dealership and has not been repaired. The filing refers to the luxury EV as a “lemon.”

As reported by National Today in the article, “Texas Woman Sues Rolls-Royce Over $546K Spectre EV Failure,” “this case highlights growing concerns about the reliability and durability of high-end electric vehicles, especially as automakers like Rolls-Royce expand their EV lineups. The lawsuit could impact consumer confidence in the brand and raise questions about Rolls-Royce's ability to properly diagnose and fix complex battery issues in a timely manner.”
