Saturn VUE SUV Safety
Investigation |
|
| Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein,
LLP, is investigating alleged design defects
in Saturn Vue sports utility vehicle. As reported
on July 27, 2004, the suspensions on two Saturn
Vue SUVs failed during rollover tests performed
by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
("NHSTA"), causing the left rear wheels
of the vehicles to collapse. The suspension failures
occurred in separate tests of the two- and four-wheel-drive
versions of the Vue, which is made by General
Motors. |
| In response, the NHSTA
has commenced an investigation as to why the
failures occurred. NHSTA investigations routinely
take more than a year to complete. Consumer
advocates have said that the test results suggested
a flaw in the SUV's design. |
| General Motors announced
it would recall nearly all of its VUE sport
utility vehicles. The recall by the General
Motors division affetcs 246,433 VUEs in the
2002-2004 model years, including 231,123 in
the United States and 15,310 in Canada. |
