Latest Toyota Lawsuit Seeks Full Refund

If it seems like an eternity since you’ve heard anything new about the rash of Toyota lawsuits happening around the country, maybe your Internet connection and television have both stopped working. As a matter of fact, there are so many Toyota tales inundating the airwaves, it’s hard to keep track of them all. The latest lawsuit news involves Toyota owners from Arizona and Washington who are seeking a full refund from the carmaker.

Steve Berman, the attorney for these cases, is hoping that Toyota will agree to have owners of the affected vehicles be allowed to simply drop off the cars, turn in the keys, and leave with a check. Berman’s lawsuit could in fact cause Toyota to write several checks that could total in the billions in payment for the millions of Toyotas recalled due to unwanted vehicle acceleration.

Unlike the majority of the current Toyota lawsuits that claim their cars have dropped in value as a result of the recalls, this is one of the first that includes car owners in search of full refunds. Berman and his clients hope that their proposed solution proves to be an easy one for the courts to make happen.

News of this refund lawsuit comes just a week before a panel of federal judges holds a hearing to decide if the more than 110 potential Toyota class action lawsuits should be consolidated into a single, inclusive suit. Taking place in San Diego, the panel also hopes to determine whether or not the case should proceed to trial. Also brewing are the racketeering claims in lawsuits filed by the Attorneys Toyota Action Consortium (ATAC), which allege that Toyota fraudulently deceived consumers about the dangers their vehicles might pose.

We’ll know soon enough how Toyota plans to combat the ever-mounting lawsuits against them, but what is still unclear is what lawsuits against the car company have yet to be filed.
