Hyundai Genesis paint peeling lawsuit challenged
The clear coat and paint on 2013 Hyundai Genesis vehicles are said to be peeling and discolored. January 13, 2025 — A Hyundai Genesis class action lawsuit in New York alleges paint and clearcoat peeling off 2013 Hyundai Genesis vehicles. The class action lawsuit alleges that the paint and clearcoat are defective and may not have been properly applied to 2013 Hyundai Genesis vehicles. Paint and clearcoat can discolor and peel, something New York customers don't know when they purchase a vehicle. New York plaintiff Gaetano Russo purchased a 2013 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 sedan in September 2013. According to the lawsuit, the clear coat and paint were peeling off badly and there was even rust. The plaintiffs argue that the cars are not what Hyundai advertises and that customers of 2013 Genesis vehicles may have to pay up to $1,800 or more to repair the paint problems.

MCACN Feature: 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge
I won't be shy. I admit that the Pontiac GTO Judge was the car I wanted when I was nearly 16 years old to save money. I never ended up owning Judge (or the goat, for that matter), but my favorite part of it at the time was still there. While visiting the 2024 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN), I spotted one of the most unique Judges. While GTO godfather Jim Wangers, a purist's purist, believed that the "WT1" Judge package should not last beyond 1969, Pontiac product planners felt differently, and continued performance and appearance packages into 1970. Since the GTO was redesigned that year, the stripes were spoilered and redesigned. The Judge logo remains, but the stripes are now "eyebrows" above the wheel arches, inspired by the 1950s Mercedes-Benz 300SL. Depending on the color of the car, four different stripes are available to visually differentiate the Judge from the 1969 version. The Polar White car has these…
Judge rules Tesla phantom braking lawsuit can proceed
Whistleblower report says Tesla recorded inadvertent emergency braking and other reported cases of phantom parking go through Brad Anderson 14 hours ago The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received hundreds of complaints about unintended automatic braking of Tesla models. A judge has dismissed claims that electric car makers charge exorbitant car insurance premiums. Over the years, many Tesla owners have complained about "phantom braking," a phenomenon in which the car suddenly and inexplicably applies the brakes, often with no obvious danger in sight. Now, a U.S. District Judge in Chicago has allowed a lawsuit against Tesla over these so-called "phantom braking" issues. The lawsuit accuses Tesla of concealing flaws in its forward collision monitoring system, which it said could trigger sudden and unnecessary braking without any real danger. While some parts of the lawsuit have been dismissed, the core claims regarding the phantom braking issue remain. The lawsuit was originally filed in 2023 by Tesla Model 3 owner…
This 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge is available for purchase
Originally created as The 1969 GTO Judge was a competitor to the Plymouth Road Runner, but evolved in concept to lead the spoiler-striped supercar trend. There are many competitors in this market hungry for attention. You can buy one of these beautiful goats at the GAA Classic Car Auction on Saturday 9th November 2024. Since the GTO is the granddaddy of the performance car market, it's no surprise that it's the best-selling performance car on the market. Can you believe that nearly 97,000 were sold in 1966 alone? And, among the Pontiac Model As that year, the GTO outsold the Tempest and Tempest Custom, only to be surpassed by the LeMans? That's quite a feat for a car that just two years ago was challenging to sell 5,000 units (more than 500%). It's nice to be king, but other suitors emerge and try to overthrow the GTO. This actually happened with the 1969 Plymouth Road Runner and Chevrolet Chevelle SS…
Judge sides with fired Lucid employees, calls for action against unionization
Two Lucid employees fired within months of distributing UAW flyers at workplace September 18, 2024 19:55 An Arizona judge sided with two Lucid employees who were fired for trying to form a union. The court found that the two were "fired in part because of anti-union sentiment." Lucid executives reportedly eavesdropped on employees, conspired against them, and threw out union literature. While the UAW was once a headache for Detroit, the union has been working to organize foreign automakers and newcomers. This has led to major changes, including the unionization of Volkswagen's Chattanooga plant. This is a major victory for the UAW, and it’s not the only one, as a judge recently issued a temporary injunction against Lucid for firing two employees who were trying to form a union. The petition was filed in Arizona District Court by a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board protesting the firing of Amie Begay and Chad Brewer. MORE: UAW accuses Mercedes…

Although Ford has issued a recall, it is still facing lawsuits regarding the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine. The committee representing the plaintiffs is currently counseling owners of more Ford models with the same engine. The judge may still dismiss the case at a later stage. In late 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began investigating reports of a defect in Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engines. As of January of this year, the automaker had recalled nearly 140,000 vehicles. Now, a judge has just approved the continuation of a case regarding the potentially defective engines. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); The class action lawsuit, filed in Delaware District Court, involves 13 plaintiffs, each of whom owns a Ford EcoSport equipped with a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine.
