Apparently someone's taking DCX to task for the all too common cracking exhaust manifold.

Been there, seen that. They will get nowhere! Some pissed off wanna be ambulance chaser who got screwed at the dealer buying a Grand Cherokee with a 4.0 in it is upset because his wife is embarassed with the noise comeing out of the crack as shes going to tea time at the local sewing club.

Chrylser will eat the alive. Another problem with the Cherokees was when they got rear ended, the seat back would fully recline, (break ) causeing serious injury. Their line was "We have made them to comply with Government Specifications and Regulations."

Why don't they just say that their mass murdering client is guilty so they can save us the expense of a multi million dollar trial...
 
its one of those things that will never see a trial date.. DC has more money and lawyers than just about anyone.. they will delay and postpone and just eat up time and what ever $$$ the class-action has and it will go nowhere...

Don't be negative!
No I won't. Never! Can't be!

Tssssssss!
Try and try and try again. If we don't react, DC will est us up.
Come on Jeep guys.
Chuck them all at DC and lets offroad anyway.
Anyway.
 
I don't think it'll go anywhere. All I see is little people trying to break down a huge ass castle wall with a plastic spork and broken exhaust manifold. Maybe i feel this way because mine hasn't cracked yet. Either way...

:looney:
 
The ONLY people who get ANYTHING out of a class action lawsuit is the suits bringing the class action. By the time the law firms take their cut, usually close to 35% off the top, pay all the 'subject matter experts', 'witness's', phone charges, travel expenses to get the witnesss's to the venue that will eat up another 35% or more. Professional witness get about $10,000 a day and thats just a doctor at a whiplash trial. The poeple who actually had the problem, they *might* get a free oil change at a jiffy lube...
 
RichP is right. I was involved in the class action suit against GM on the dangerous placement of gas tanks on their Pickups. Apparently, the suit was won. The lawyers got rich and they sent me a letter entitling me to a $1,000 dollar discount on a new Chevy PU. I can not afford a new PU and if I could, I could probably get the same discount anyhow. These class actions suits are only a means to enrich the pockets of the lawyers and only drive up the price of buying a new vehicle.GM also has the exhaust manifold problem on their 350 engines.

Why is it no one ever keys in on the fact that as a part of the exhaust leaking gas to the atmosphere your manifold represents a failure to control emmisions and is covered by the 8/80 emmisions warranty ALL cars carry?

Your local dealer can warranty it on that.

Just some more FYI on warranty, a dealer can do a "goodwill" warranty claim. There is NO limit to how far back they can go... I fthey wished your local dealer clould do a "goodwill" claim on anything.

Learn how to work within the system yourself, do not rely on a shyster out to line his own pockets.

So you're saying that with over 140K miles on the clock and only 6 years they'd make a goodwill claim for me? Doubt it: they went pretty far out before but that's stretching it.

Perhaps, just perhaps, if you were a member and came to some of the club runs you meet a nice guy like me.
(I wouldn't want to generalize or anything . . . )
 
lawyers won't do anything unless it has a positive financial side to it...good will or not. it is in their nature as lawyers to think about money...it is their reason for being in the profession they are in. as for anybody actually beating a corporation the size of D/C...good luck! i have written D/C about a number of different issues regarding jeeps, cutomer protection, etc... and they have been both helpful and not-helpful at the same time. if manifolds are cracking, a recall is in order, and there is probably an internal memo somewhere from an engineer stating such. just a guess.
i don't think D/C is out to get us...i just think they don't get us...as brand loyalists.
my .02 cents

Isn't that where Lawyers work for free to gain more notoriety so they can become more famous and charge MORE MONEY to the next paying client????

:D

Sorry couldn't resist!

Hey I thought the reason we all went to work was for MONEY, NOT JUST LAWYERS!

Oh then I guess living at home with mommy and daddy you don't need to make money!

Pro-Bono means you are for bono. No-Bono means your against bono. Too bad the guy had to ski into that tree.....

Pro-Bono means that you do the job for free, no payment.

Hmm, not the definition I was thinking of. I thought a bono was a whiny tree-hugging bastard who sings in a nasally, incoherent manner. :dunno:

i can define pro bono...its latin for..."advertising". makes a lawyer sound like he cares about the small guy. almost all firms have some sort of pro bono program. i know of some stand up guys who are lawyers...doesn't mean they are professionally stand up at all. didn't mean to offend you, but I do agree with the stereotype...which is just that (a sterotype). I have to stand by my thinking because it is what my experience tells me (however limited or expansive). So... pro bono, seriously my guess would be volunteer work... which is cool because now I have a new word to use when I volunteer at the blind center...I read for them pro bono. SWEET!
Also, tell me this... how many class action lawsuits are done pro bono?
Anyways, I apologize if I offended you, but generalizations are made from some sort of truth.

What's the difference between a dead lawyer in the road and a dead snake in the road?

There's skid marks in front of the snake...

This thing is stupid. Citi bank sent me a check for like .18 cents or something because of one of these stupid lawsuites. The lawyer will buy a new Porche and you'll get a check for a buck if you're lucky. The manifold leaks... buy a borla if you are so worried about it.
 
This IS stupid. No argument there.
I am personally unaware of anyone who's brought a class action suit pro bono . I won't bother getting into the types and amount of legal services I've provided without ever asking anything in return. Let there be no misunderstanding - I am as disgusted with most plaintiffs' attorneys as a good many people are. I have particularly little use for those who bring marginal (at best) class action lawsuits, and line their pockets while failing to adequately serve the class members.
That said - generalizations are a dangerous thing. I think you said a mouthful when you said that generalizations are made from some sort of truth. Do you really want to justify your attitude toward every member of a learned profession with that logoc, however? After all, do you suppose there is "some sort of truth" to the stereotype of four-wheelers as drunken idiots bent on destroying the environment as they recklessly risk their lives and those of others?

:dunno:
