Anyone else got this. Class action lawsuit against Toyota.

Pretty much about the whole unintended acceleration fiasco. Talks about how you can be eligible and blah blah blah. Apparently I fall in it because of the last four digit of my VIN number "5749". At 4.5 years of driving my truck, I've never experience this so called problem.

Sounds legit, but it's funny how people are just desperate for money these days.

Front of the letter.


Back.

 

I got the same letter.

 

Got that letter as well. Read it, went straight to recycle bin.

 

You need to clarify your comment... It should be "funny how LAWYERS are just desperate for money these days."

When it's all said and done, YOU (the people), will see pennies on the dollar while the lawyers who are pushing the case will pocket millions!

 

Yep. In the trash.

 

Yea I got that letter too. Went straight to the trash

 

I got mine yesterday & filed a claim online.

 

thank god! someone has to be money hungry, we all should be.

 

^This

 

haha

 

It's a MASSIVE cash grab by the lawyers. Read the settlement (page 32) http://www.toyotaelsettlement.com/pdf/SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT EXHIBITS.pdf

Go to page 16 of the settlement. The customers effectively get an extended warranty on the

(i) Engine Control Module;
(ii) Cruise Control Switch;
(iii) Accelerator Pedal Assembly;
(iv) Stop Lamp Switch;
(v) Throttle Body Assembly.

Might as well keep the letter in the glovebox.

 

"Thats the ticket laddie! You get on one of these big class action lawsuits and you'll be stinkin' filthy rich! Your clients will get a lot of letters in the mail and the company that they like will pay out hundreds of millions just to settle, and those clients of yours will ultimately pay the bill the next time they buy a car while we get serviced on a beach in the tropics!!! WOOO CLASS ACTION!!! HONK HONK!!!"

Got one last week. already burned with the rest of the junk mail

 

yep got it on this past sat. funny it was my old taco I had in 2007. so it went to burn bucket

 

Trash

 

Trash.

The only winner in class action lawsuits is the legal team.
The "injured parties" get a free download from iTunes or a buck off of their NEXT Microsoft purchase.

 

Got two. My truck and wifes highlander. More reason i dont like checking mail. Nothing but trash.

 

According to their claim form, it's worth about a 150 dollars to me.

We'll see, I guess, if that ever pans out, but it is better than a stick in the eye.

 

Didn't they prove the "unintended acceleration" was nothing more than "driver error", or is the Prius thing something different?

 

They never had to. Toyota settled out of court. Part of the terms of the settlement include compensation for lost resale/trade-in value due to the suit and bad press. That's why it is not restricted to just Prius owners and such.
