We have noticed a trend of serious issues in Mercedes-Benz electrical vehicles, including the following models:
Current lawsuits allege that consumers have experienced the following symptoms in these vehicles: lack of acceleration, rapid deceleration, shut down, stalling, going into limp home mode (which limits the vehicle’s speed in order to minimize overheating or other damage), numerous error messages, features like recuperation becoming disabled or impaired, illumination of the “Pre-Safe Inoperative” warning message, active parking assist and parktronic inoperative, “Do not Restart vehicle, Service Required” warning, “Drive Malfunction, Achievable Speed Severely Limited See Operator’s Manual” warning, illumination of the turtle icon, transmission position warnings, active brake assist function limited, and other electrical system faults.
It is possible these trends may develop into one or more CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS.
Remember, under the right circumstances, class actions can either help and hurt the value of your individual claim. In most cases where lemon law rights are released in a class action settlement, your individual lemon law claim is more valuable than the class settlement proceeds, which may only be for a coupon toward a new purchase or an “extended warranty.”
Even worse, auto manufacturers often place time limits or other restrictions on the class settlement proceeds that prevent people from receiving anything in exchange for their released claims.
On the other hand, if you have a good lemon law claim you may be entitled to receive all your money back, or more, and your attorney’s fees are paid by the manufacturer because of the FEE SHIFTING PROVISION in California’s lemon law which allows us to take the case at no charge to you. If you have a good case we will front the costs and our time, and we only get paid by the manufacturer if we achieve a recovery for you.
