Ford Motor fails to perform a $45 TSB, ordered by jury to pay $33,610 in damages for defective 2005 F250 Super Duty truck

August 12th, 2009

Ted Greene of Krohn & Moss, Ltd. prevailed over two of Ford Motor Company’s top trial attorneys in a three day jury trial in Ft. Myers, Florida Florida over a lemon law case. On July 23, 2009, Ford was ordered by the jury to pay John Kellermeier damages to the tune of $33,610 concerning a 2005 Ford F250 Super Duty truck with a recalcitrant transmission issue.

“I was a very proud man when I signed the ownership papers for my new 2005 Ford F250 Super Duty truck” the consumer told Ted Greene of Krohn & Moss, Ltd. “Within six weeks my euphoria disappeared as the vehicle started flailing with transmission problems”. The consumer brought it back for three repairs with increasing apprehension within the first 5,200 miles. Ford rebuilt the entire transmission for the vehicle on the third visit and pronounced it “repaired”. However, the transmission continued to gyrate. It shifted harshly. It banged into gear. It twirled and twisted the tires after finally engaging. The consumer’s attorneys, Krohn & Moss, Ltd. sent a letter to Ford with a detailed description of the defect. In the letter they also made an express statement, “Ford is being given a final opportunity to repair the vehicle.”

At the trial Ford’s representative leaned heavily on the ruse, “Ford has never been given a proper notice that the consumer does not consider the vehicle repaired.”
Referring to the letter sent by the consumer’s attorneys, Ford’s representative contended, “The letter wasn’t in the format we ‘usually get’. As a result it has been ‘misdirected’ internally.” Based on this, Ford contended it was never provided with a final opportunity to repair the vehicle. The jury remained unimpressed.

During the course of the trial Mr. Kellermeier’s attorney elicited proof that not only had Ford’s dealer called Ford directly on the second repair visit, but also that Ford was aware of the problem and would be coming out with a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) to correct the issue. However, even after the TSB was issued, Ford never performed the TSB at issue. Ironically, the TSB at issue would have cost Ford a mere $45 if performed. Only after filing the suit did the consumer come to know that a TSB was available.

Armed with this evidence, Plaintiff’s attorney convinced the jury that Mr. Kellermeier had given Ford a reasonable opportunity to repair the defects in the Ford truck and that Ford had failed to stand up to it. In turn, the jury unanimously agreed that Mr. Kellermeier was entitled to $33,610 in damages. The Court will now be called upon to decide the amount of attorneys’ fees and costs Ford will forfeit to pay Krohn & Moss, Ltd. for their successful litigation of this consumer action.

The law firm of Krohn & Moss , Ltd. Consumer Law Center® was founded in 1995 by attorneys Adam Krohn and Greg Moss, to provide legal representation to consumers with defective vehicles and products. Krohn & Moss, Ltd Consumer Law Center has litigated over 35,000 cases with a 99% success rate. As a result, Krohn & Moss, Ltd. has had a profound impact on consumer protection law.

Connecticut BBB warns against a summer scam going door-to-door nationwide

May 8th, 2009

Trying to help a good cause could get you ripped off by fraudulent magazine salespeople

Wallingford, CT – May 8, 2009 – Better Business Bureau warns that deceptive door-to-door magazine sales crews are hitting the pavement in Connecticut, and looking to earn a quick buck this summer. In the last 12 months alone, BBB’s across the nation received 1,100 complaints from consumers in 46 states against more than 50 companies that are selling magazines door-to-door. A number of these complaints were filed by Connecticut consumers.

Many of these companies employ crews of high school and college-age people who are trying to earn money over their summer break. These crews are sent to communities to knock on doors and sell magazines—sometimes without appropriate licensing. In the sales pitch, the representative might explain they are working to help raise money on behalf of a charity, for a school trip or even selling subscriptions to support troops in Iraq.

A Greater New Haven woman said a pair of students claiming they were from the University of Rhode Island, knocked on her door, said they lived “down the street,” and were selling magazines and books to “go to London.” Later, when she became suspicious, she called police, filed a report with Connecticut Better Business Bureau and put a stop on her check.

Connecticut Better Business Bureau President, Paulette Scarpetti, says victims readily believe the phony sales pitch and often pay hundreds of dollars by check. However, complaints allege the sales reps took the checks and the magazines never arrived.

“We are alerting consumers to this scam to prevent an epidemic of door-to-door magazine fraud. We encourage all Connecticut residents to be vigilant, and to inform their children, parents and grandparents about this type of operation.”

Scarpetti adds that consumers are not the only victims of this scam.

“The young salespeople also are being taken advantage of by their employers, forced to work long hours and having their wages withheld from them.”

BBB offers the following advice to avoid getting scammed by a door-to-door magazine sales scam:

•Always research the company with your Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org before issuing a check for a magazine subscription.

•The Federal Trade Commission’s Three-Day Cooling-Off Rule gives the customer three days to cancel purchases over $25 that are made in their home or at a location that is not the seller’s permanent place of business. Along with a receipt, salespeople should also include a completed cancellation form that customers can send to the company to cancel the agreement. By law, the company must give customers a refund within 10 days of receiving the cancellation notice.

•Victims of fraudulent magazine sales can file a complaint with their Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org, local law enforcement, and the state Attorney General’s office.
