Saskatchewan plaintiff Corrine Kane owns a 2007 Jeep Liberty and argues Fiat Chrysler (FCA US) failed to adequately fix defective vehicles in a reasonable time by repairing, replacing or repurchasing the vehicles.
The lawsuit follows a 2015 action by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concerning 23 U.S. recalls which led to a $105 million penalty in the U.S.
According to the Canadian plaintiff, Chrysler vehicles suffered from these alleged defects.
- Braking problems
- Transmission problems
- Faulty alternators
- Faulty rear axle pinion nuts
- Defective fuel tanks and fuel systems
- Faulty ball stud tie-rod assemblies
- Wiring problems
- Defective clutch interlock switches
- Faulty airbags
- Faulty door switches
- Tire failure problems
The class action alleges those problems make the Chrysler vehicles too dangerous to operate.
According to the class action, each vehicle owner should be reimbursed for the purchase price of the vehicle and receive damages for diminished vehicle values. A lessee should be given the right to terminate their lease.
The plaintiff also claims customers should receive damages for expenses related to the defects and repairs, and should be paid for loss of use and enjoyment of their Chrysler vehicles.
In addition, damages should be paid for the trouble and time associated with the recalls and damages should also be paid for "anxiety and fear."
The FCA recalls class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Queen's Bench for Saskatchewan: Corrine Kane v. FCA US LLC, et al.
The plaintiff is represented by Merchant Law Group LLP.
