Case Name
Majeed Seifi, et al. v. Mercedes Benz USA LLC
Case No. 3:12-cv-05493
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
Case Summary
In this settlement the plaintiffs allege that Mercedes produced certain vehicles equipped with defective gears in their balance shafts (in the event of the M272 engines) or with defective idle gears (in the case of the M273 engines). These defective gears wear out prematurely, excessively, and without warning, causing the vehicle to malfunction, the ‘check engine light’ to remain illuminated, and the vehicle to have symptoms such as misfiring or catastrophic stops.
