Class action lawsuits S80 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Frank on  Mon Jul 21 13:04 CST 2003 [RELATED]

First of all, I do feel bad for those who end up needing this costly trans replacement and I agree that any trans should last longer BUT does anyone here really know details as to what's involved? I'd have to think that starting such a suit against a very large corporation (with VERY deep pockets) won't be an easy thing. One would also need proof, details, facts as to how common the problem is, how often these parts fail, etc.
The class action suits that I've heard of in regards to automobiles dealt with safety related problems, things like brake, steering or suspension related problems that could (or did) kill someone.
NOTHING ever happened to Volvo in regards to their past issues such as AC evaporators in 850s and those have been a far numerous repair item over the years.
One thing's for sure, those who feel that they've been slighted won't buy the same product again.
