Dieter Zetsche has vowed to fight litigation to put an end to meritless suits and unjust legal fees, which he says have become a $40 billion annual industry in the U.S. “It’s fair to say America has a lawsuit-happy culture,” the head of the Chrysler Group of what he calls “jackpot justice.” “The perception is that you sue those rich crooks because the poor individual needs to be compensated for the terrible things you’ve done.” While all U.S. auto executives have urged tort reform to deal with this issue, Zetsche has been the most vocal in calling… |

The next time Ron Mazur buys a computer, it'll come in parts he assembles himself. "Building your own machine is the only way to know exactly where the fault lies if something goes wrong," he said. Mazur, who lives in Chicago, has had more than his share of computer trouble. He hopes Illinois legislators will approve a computer lemon law that makes it easier for consumers to get their machines fixed by the manufacturer or get their money back. No state has such a law, but advocates say Pennsylvania is close to becoming the first. A bill sponsored by state

Nov. 26--THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DRIVER: QUESTION: With all the gizmos to push or look at in the newer cars, plus a cell phone in one hand, a cup in the other, I wonder who is really driving anymore and how I can keep out of their way, short of staying home? We are surrounded by safety features in our cars--seat belts, air bags and ABS--but don't seem to be able to do much about the nut behind the wheel. It appears automakers are going crazy with gadgets in the cabin that can only be distractions. I'm surprised you haven't

I bought a used 1998 Cadillac Catera that had with 62,000 miles on it in January. It had 71,000 miles on it and ran like a champ until struck by a truck in April. Amazingly, only the bumper was ripped off and the passenger-side fender crushed About a month after getting it out of the shop, the heater control valve failed and then the radiator went out. My insurance company said it wouldn't replace either because they were wear-and-tear items that weren't touched in the accident. Why did these parts fail?

I purchased an '02 Chrysler Sebring convertible. To my dismay, I recently discovered the glovebox has no lock. There's a locked center console for my CDs and a locking trunk that can be opened only from the inside if the ignition is on. I checked and other automakers sell convertibles with a locking glovebox. This has to be a major oversight by Chrysler engineers. How can they design a $30,000 vehicle without a glovebox lock, especially a convertible? Certainly, Chrysler doesn't expect us to remove all the contents from the glovebox and put them in the trunk. I have
