SAN DIEGO, CA – September 13, 2024
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Mazda Motor Corporation for damages suffered by plaintiffs due to defective seat heating systems employed in certain Mazda vehicles. The lawsuit accuses Mazda of promoting, advertising, marketing, selling, and distributing vehicles with a known defect in their seat heating systems, which has led to significant physical and economic harm to drivers, who received no advance warning from Mazda.
Plaintiff Dyvad, one of the individuals harmed by this defect, suffered serious burns and scarring as a result of using the defective seat warmer in her vehicle. Dyvad's lawsuit emphasizes that she would not have purchased the vehicle, or would have paid significantly less, had she been aware of the risk and the vehicle’s defective system.
The plaintiffs are seeking damages for the harm suffered due to Mazda's negligence and disregard for consumer safety. The lawsuit highlights Mazda's failure to act responsibly and address the safety issues associated with these vehicles, resulting in vehicles that are less safe and worth less than represented.
