FCA US LLC Agrees To Settle Class Action Jeep Cherokee Lawsuit

FCA US LLC has recently agreed in principle to settle a class action lawsuit involving 2014 or 2015 Jeep Cherokee, 2015 Jeep Renegade or 2015 Chrysler 200 vehicles. The lawsuit alleges that certain Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Renegade and Chrysler 200 vehicles are equipped with defective 9 speed (ZF 9HP) automatic transmissions that may have rough, delayed, or sudden shifting or failure to shift conditions; grinding or other loud noises during shifting; harsh engagement of gears; sudden or harsh accelerations/decelerations; sudden loss of power; premature transmission wear; and transmission failure. The class action settlement is subject to the approval of the Court and if approved could substantially affect your rights to pursue an individual claim against FCA US LLC if you do not take immediate action.

Unlike a typical lawsuit, if you do not exercise your right to “opt out” of a class action settlement you are automatically included in the class action and you are bound by the relief that the Court approves for the class members. Based upon the experience of the attorneys at Krohn & Moss, Ltd. Consumer Law Center®, the proposed class action relief may not be adequate for some vehicle owners who have experienced the above-mentioned conditions.

Krohn & Moss, Ltd. Consumer Law Center® has resolved numerous claims on behalf of consumers who have experienced transmission problems with the affected vehicles.
