Ford 6F35 transmission class action lawsuit dismissed
This is not a class action lawsuit, but the Ford 6F35 transmission is allegedly defective. December 24, 2024 — Ford transmission 'massive' lawsuit ends after litigation that usually doesn't happen in court. The Ford 6F35 Transmission Mass Action alleges that 2010-2020 Ford Fusion and 2009-2021 Ford Escape vehicles are defective because of a defective transmission. According to the judge hearing the case, this is not a typical class action lawsuit because of the way the plaintiffs filed their complaint. Whether you call this a Ford 6F35 transmission class action lawsuit or a transmission class action lawsuit, the argument regarding the alleged defect remains the same. The lawsuit accuses Ford of "illegally inducing" consumers to buy the Ford Fusion and Ford Escape 6F35 vehicles by concealing transmission problems with the vehicles. The customer would then have to purchase a vehicle with reduced value and expensive repairs due to the transmission. According to the Ford 6F35 transmission lawsuit, owners claim Ford Fusions…

November 8, 2024 — A Dodge class action lawsuit has been dismissed after a truck owner claimed his vehicles were not equipped with a functional anti-theft system. The lawsuit was filed by truck owner Brett Wiater, who claims that the 2019-2023 Dodge vehicles were defective, resulting in the vehicles being stolen. According to Wiater, his Dodge vehicle was stolen in April 2023 "(b)as a result of the defect at issue in this case."

According to Wiater, this steering and shift lock system, along with other allegedly missing functional anti-theft systems, made the Dodge vehicles too susceptible to theft, unsafe, and the lawsuit alleges that the value of the vehicles has decreased.

Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid class action lawsuit suspended

Like many auto class action lawsuits, this one was filed until back FCA recalled the minivans, but more than 30 plaintiffs claim Chrysler knew about and concealed problems with the Pacifica Hybrid before the minivans were sold.

State dismisses lawsuit over cracked Jeep windshield

One plaintiff even claimed that his Jeep's windshield shattered after being bitten by a mosquito. Jeep owners say they are forced to pay hundreds of dollars to repair cracked or shattered windshields even if their insurance covers the damage, given that most policies have deductibles.

The class-action lawsuit comes just weeks after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation into unintended braking issues in 2019 to 2022 Honda Passport and Insight vehicles.

Honda describes the system as follows: "CMBS™ features a radar transmitter mounted on the front grille fascia that…
