Keller Rohrback L.L.P., a Seattle-based class action law firm, filed suit on Friday, March 15, 2019, against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (FCA) and their American subsidiary FCA US LLC. The litigation, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, comes after announcements by the California Air Resources Board, Environmental Protection Agency, and FCA that nearly 900,000 FCA gasoline-powered vehicles failed emissions-related in-use testing.
“Consumers are reeling over the latest news that their Chrysler and Dodge vehicles fail emissions testing and require repairs that may not be available to them for many months,” said Keller Rohrback attorney Gretchen Freeman Cappio, a longtime advocate for car consumers.
Keller Rohrback’s suit came about after FCA issued their recall, which includes certain 2011-2016 Dodge Journeys, 2011-2014 Chrysler 200s and Dodge Avengers, 2011-2012 Dodge Calibers and 2011-2016 Jeep Compass/Patriots. The EPA notes, however, that they “continue to investigate other FCA vehicles which are potentially non-compliant and may become the subject of future recalls.”
Keller Rohrback’s complaint, which can be reviewed here, calls for FCA to promptly advise consumers and repair these non-emissions compliant vehicles, as well as to provide financial relief to all Class Members who have suffered economic damages for loss of value and idled resources.
