Yep, class actions seem like real money makers...for attorneys.

Winner winner winner. Stellantis gives owners $100.00 off MSRP coupon on purchase of 2024-2025 Wrangler to settle suit. Lawyers walk away with $19,000,000.00 in settlement.

Starting to think this guy is the lawyer behind the class action.

Not that I'm in favor of banning most people, but I believe anyone who creates an account and then creates a thread within X days (or their first post is) about a lawsuit should be banned with their posts deleted. They add nothing to the discussion or community. But I am not a mod.

Edit: Just to be clear, if someone that is actually a part of the forum wants to bring up a thread about a class action or personal lawsuit, I have no problems with that.

Seems fishy posting only this in two other threads and then creates this one.

No.... not just attorney's. I got into one on the ground floor with Apple Computers with 50 other people. Payout to me was right at $300,000 while those that just joined in got $50.

I read the lawsuit. This is a sad state of affairs for Stellantis. Jeep vehicles have been utilizing manual shift and clutch since the first one was built, yet the foreign owners can't seem to make a clutch/engine combination work without the potential to burn the vehicle to a crisp. Three recalls and no solution, however, aftermarket suppliers seem to have remidied the issue.

Hey "first responders," a class action against a vehicle manufacturer for a defective critical system is a tad different than a case where the bank stole one dollar from each of its 10 million customers. Let's keep the discussion meaningful. Consider, the case may resolve the remedies question, such as whether they include a deadline for repair/replacement, loaner/rental cars, reimbursement for expenses or past owner replacements.

Current experiences with dealers, appearing in other threads on this forum, suggest that the lawsuit could help resolve a bunch of problems.

It is inexcusable that Jeep has known about this issue for 6 + years and allowed the problem to exist for 6 years (give or take). Two previous recalls did not resolve the issue, and who knows if this last recall will do anything. The NTSB really needs to slam Stellantis over this, but it will not happen. ..

At this point, Jeep should offer buybacks and refund every dollar. That is a lemon and auto manufacturers should be help accountable. It's insane that Jeep hasn't given one single (fbomb) about this issue and they continue to profit.

Jeeps issues are bad enough that it should require a govt. investigation into the company. I hope children (or anyone) don't get trapped in a burning vehicle.

well, lawsuit guarantees you wont know anything for a decade.

Perhaps when people begin to file lawsuits for financial, and potentially, a loss of life, they will awaken. Every time this occurs they place not only the owner's lives at risk, but also the first responders.

How do you know they aren't and there just aren't many suits?
