The suit hopes to attain class action status and is “intended to benefit all residents of the United States who purchased a Toyota vehicle of model years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and\/or 2010 that is subject to the recalls.” How many cars is that? We don’t have a total off the top of our head, but considering the Camry<\/a> has been the best selling car in the U.S. for all six of those years, and the Corolla<\/a> has been number three or four over the course of that same time frame, we’ll go ahead and say the answer is a staggeringly large number. <\/p>\n But hang on one minute: Since all the affected cars have been recalled by Toyota and will (eventually) be repaired, what could the two law firms possibly be suing ToMoCo for? Away we go:<\/p>\n There you have it. And yes, they really did mention emotional distress.<\/p>\n [Source: The Auto Channel<\/a> | Image: Corbis]<\/p>\n ThrottleGate: First class-action lawsuit filed against Toyota over pedal recall<\/a> originally appeared on Autoblog<\/a> on Sun, 31 Jan 2010 12:36:00 EST.
