This case, which is very similar to the Ford Focus case, was successfully settled in 2004. M&S settled a class action against Mitsubishi for a defect in the brake system of the 1999 Mitsubishi Galant. The defect caused extremely premature wear on the rotors and brake pads grossly in excess of normal use. Plaintiffs raised claims of breach of warranty and consumer fraud. Mitsubishi denied all claims. The parties reached a settlement where Class Members received either an inspection and repair of the brake problem; a reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses of brake and/or rotor repairs; or a service voucher.
