Case ID: 4969 | Consumer Products | 01/15/2007
A class action lawsuit was filed alleging that Dell notebooks suffer from design defects that cause premature failure of the motherboard due to overheating.
The suit, which seeks class-action status, was filed on behalf of an owner of an Inspiron PC. It claims that Dell knew or should have known of the defects but sold the notebooks anyway. The suit applies to the 1100, 1150, 5100, 5150 or 5160 models of the Inspiron. Dell settled a similar lawsuit over one of the models and is defending itself against lawsuits over the other four. The lawsuit claims that the overheating problems often happen shortly after a one-year warranty expires. Last year, Dell recalled more than four million laptop batteries made by Sony because they overheated and ran the risk of catching fire. The lawsuit is unrelated to the Sony battery problems. The overheating problem described in the action do not appear to cause fires or injuries.

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.
