ClassAction.com: Fighting for Cars That Work

  • Safety concerns: Every new model year, more safety ideas are designed and built into cars. When they work, they save lives. If they are defective, they can cause serious injuries. Defective seat belts and defective air bags need to be repaired as soon as the manufacturer is aware of the problem.
  • Design defects: Cars are expected to be crashworthy. There are many examples of design defects. In a rollover accident, for example, roof crush can be a life-threatening problem. The roof should be able to withstand a rollover with caving in on the driver and passengers.
  • Remedies available: If a dealer or manufacturer has not taken steps to repair known defects, a class action lawsuit can request a recall, repairs and other remedies.

If you were sold a car with defects, contact ClassAction.com and tell us about it.
