Case ID: 4823 | Consumer Products | 05/31/2006
Several West Michigan phone customers filed a class action lawsuit against six phone companies who allegedly allowed the National Security Agency to access their phone conversations. Their attorney filed the lawsuit against AT&T, Cellular One, Charter Communication, MCI, Transworld Network and Verizon Wireless.
Christopher and Rebecca Yowtz of Coopersville, Ryan Halbower of Traverse City and Joan DuBois of West Olive are among the many people who have filed a dozen class action lawsuits against the phone companies. According to the complaint, the federal government is breaking Michigan and federal laws by wiretapping without a warrant. Additionally, the government is trying to block the suits by arguing it is an issue of homeland security, the complaint states. Similar relevant class action lawsuits could be consolidated and heard by one state judge. The lawsuit is open to any customer of AT&T, Cellular One, Charter, MCI, Transworld and Verizon Wireless who believes their conversations were wiretapped by the National Security Agency.

KMBC reported that the lawsuits were filed in Jackson County and Johnson County, Kan., over alleged problems with the front brakes on 1999 through 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees.
The lawsuits allege that after as little as 5,000 miles, the steering wheel and front wheels "shake" and that drivers encounter severe vibrations through the steering wheel, floor, seat and pedals when the brakes are applied.
DaimlerChrysler has never issued a recall for a problem with the front brakes.
The lawsuits seek to force the carmaker to reimburse Kansas and Missouri residents for all costs spent repairing the brakes. ClassActionAmerica is seeking additional information about this case now and will provide it as soon as it becomes available.
