Automotive Defects

You’ve already paid for the car, don’t pay for its defects.

Danger on the road can strike at any time, whether it’s caused by other drivers, road conditions, or even defects lurking within your own vehicle. It only takes the failure of a single vehicle component to put you, your passengers, and other motorists at serious risk of injury or even death.

General Motors Speedometers

Whitfield Bryson LLP and co-counsel settled a proposed class action on behalf of owners of model years 2003-2007 “light pick-ups and sport utility vehicles” manufactured by General Motors. The settlement awarded plaintiffs and settlement class members with an extension of GM’s Special Coverage benefits, replacement parts, or reimbursement for replacement costs.

Jeep Brake Rotors

Whitfield Bryson LLP represented model years 1999-2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee owners in a class action arising from alleged defective front brake assemblies. The plaintiffs alleged the front brake assemblies were defectively designed and Daimler Chrysler knew of this defect yet failed to notify consumers either before or after sale. The settlement awarded plaintiffs reimbursement for the cost of prior brake repairs or replacements incurred during the warranty period. Class members also received a free brake inspection and, under certain conditions, repairs paid for by Daimler Chrysler.

Goodyear Long Range E Tires

Whitfield Bryson LLP served as co-counsel in an action alleging Goodyear sold defective tires prone to tread separation when operated at highway speeds. The Court approved a settlement in which Goodyear agreed to provide a combination of both monetary and non-monetary consideration to the settlement class in the form of an Enhanced Warranty Program and Rebate Program.
