Mitsubishi Motors said its U.S. sales subsidiary, Mitsubishi Motors North America, has won a key ruling in a major U.S. product liability case, after the Superior Court of Pennsylvania vacated a roughly US$1 billion verdict against the company and ordered a new trial on all claims related to alleged defects in the restraint system of a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT. The case, stemming from a 2017 accident that injured the husband of plaintiff Soomi Amagasu, had left the U.S. unit as the sole defendant after the parent company was dismissed in 2021, and while Mitsubishi Motors maintains the vehicle is not defective, it acknowledged that the ultimate financial impact of the retrial remains uncertain and pledged to continue contesting the claims and to disclose any material effects on its earnings.

The accident occurred when the plaintiff’s husband, Francis Amagasu, lost control of his vehicle while attempting to pass a car in front of him
I drive old cars. After 25 years, I would not consider ANY defect to be on the manufacturer. It certainly never occurred to me to sue Daimler-Chrysler for a scored brake drum on my 1966 Dodge Dart that happened due to a defect in the self-adjusting cable that didn’t self-adjust due to a design flaw in 1966. (You lose all brake fluid and all brake pressure, except the emergency brakes which only work at low speed.)
Man... I had a blue ‘93 VR4. Amazing car.
Guess they should have hired Morgan and Morgan, or Alex Shunnarah (sp). Those guys are always smiling from their many billboards, so they must be really good.
They hired Ferrar and Ball. They did a good job getting a $1 billion verdict. The seat belt had a rip apart design, which was supposed to be better in accidents, but not good for it to rip apart in a roll over accident.
Jeepers!
I missed that.
1992 Mitsubishi, 2017 accident. 25 year old car.
A jury packed with retards.
Reminds me of a caricature on WBAP’s drivetime shows;
Haywood Yasoomi.
