American Isuzu Motors Inc. Class Action Denied

Approximately 162,000 Isuzu SUVs were recalled due to defective brake systems. Consumers tried to file a class action lawsuit against the automotive company. The class represented all people in the United States who leased or purchased a 1998 or 1999 Isuzu Rodeo or Amigo. A Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge has rejected a proposed settlement, "Since the proposed settlement abandons most claims and clearly minimizes recovery to class members and maximizes the difficulty of even submitting a claim, the proposed settlement fails to be within the parameters of a reasonable settlement."
