Third Circuit Denies Mercedes-Benz' Effort to Appeal Class Certification Decision
June 9, 2009
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals summarily denied the petition for leave by Mercedes-Benz to appeal the decision of the district court to grant class certification. Lieff Cabraser represents owners and lessees of Mercedes-Benz cars and SUVs equipped with the Tele-Aid system.
The complaint charges that Mercedes-Benz violated laws against consumer fraud by promoting and selling the Tele-Aid system without disclosing to buyers of certain model years that the Tele-Aid system as installed would stop working in 2008 when cellular telephone companies switched from analog to digital technology. Mercedes-Benz is charging its customers as much as $1,500 to install a new Tele-Aid system that will work with digital technology.
