Class action...No Class (Wrangler Rollover Risk)

[D60]

See, this is why I'm saying a 450hp 4wd SUV on factory 35's (ie the 392 Wrangler) is a pipe dream

Cram that much power into the skinny pedal of a vehicle with an incredibly high COG (relative to Mustangs, Camaros, etc) and a mile of tire sidewall and the lawsuits like this will pile up

Don't get me wrong, such lawsuits are bullshit but we allow them to exist nonetheless

I don't see a simple 392 Wrangler happening, but I do see a 392 option being available where they compromise performance and/or features somewhere else. I mentioned in another thread how we haven't seen a single mule with the Freedom Top. They all have the Sky One Touch. I don't know if that matters and how so if it does, but that might be one of many sacrifices the Wrangler will have to make to get that powertrain.

Just a question on forum policy... is it an unwritten (or written) rule that there is no cussing on this forum? Curious as I have seen many people take the high road and I don't want to irritate the powers that be.

Thanks

Fuck yeah there is.

This suit is for people who don't know how to use the pitch and roll gauge. I don't know about you but I always have mine on especially if I'm traveling on the interstate at 85 mph and quickly grab a 25 mph off ramp and gett'er up on 2 wheels as I swirl down the ramp at 28 to 30 degrees of tilt. Now if I would do this in any other brand of suv I wouldn't have the tilt gauge option and would most likely roll, that would make the other brands of suv's a better candidate for this stupid suit.

I once got close to $300 for a class action and I thought it was a giant ruse.

if you thought it a ruse, why did you join the class?

I never expected $300, I expected $12 lol.

Ah, sorry, I read your post too quickly and misunderstood.

this suit is for participation trophy, Joe Biden leg sniffing, Honda driver that got a jeep and tried to do donuts in a parking lot in 4L, and a poor @$s lawyer trying to make a name for their self.. In which turns in to a fat paid day for the lawyer team and 5 bucks for everyone else. get outta here. you push the button to start the jeep, truck, or car. its all on you. you assume the risk factor. what happened to the days of common sense?

Yeah in no way did I expect a "decent" chunk, just the typical amount.

I personally believe that lawyers/firms should not be allowed to “advertise” for class action clients. Class-actions have a place —- but only when consumers/damaged parties get together ON THEIR OWN, build a class, and then go to a lawyer to take the case. Social media can enable this. Lawyers should not be able to create a class.... it should already be created before the lawyer gets involved or it should be null.

i also believe that lawyers should not be allowed fees that are in excess of 5% of the settlement/judgement and I further believe that the fees should have other capping mechanisms that might lower the 5% Further.

does that mean that “contingency” structures would go away? Probably. And that’s ok too.

I'm not a fan of contingency stuff, but that's mainly because I'd rather get paid for my labor instead of gambling for lunch.
