I hope his parents sue Chrysler for everything they have.

The problem would be to prove that his death was caused by their beep shifter. But the way they obviously handle technical problems and recalls is a shame. Maybe people will think twice now before they buy their cars.

It's sucks because my father has a newer Jeep Grand Cherokee, and it's had like 6 recalls. To bad they didn't get this one in time. If it is truly the reason, and not driver error.
THERES NO ROOM IN MY CIRCUS TENT FOR YOU !!!! -

Wait and see.
I sincerely HOPE you are WRONG and Chrysler goes under, folding their foul tents.
And let's not forget punitive damages, which could be billions (yes, a "b") for them delaying that recall, as they had in almost two dozen cases s111cince 2013, affecting
millions
of vehicles. Oh, what a rotten record that is for them.
Juries can do that. I hope Mr. and Mrs. Yelchin refuse any out of court settlement. The press will be all over the trial. Add that adverse publicity to what Chrysler has already experienced. Perhaps that alone will be enough for the company to close its doors.
Too big to fail?
I sincerely hope not. -

Nothing in your statement matters. There were over 700 complaints involving at least 41 serious injuries, including a broken pelvis and a ruptured bladder.
Again, the evidence trail leads to the company's accountability:
Facts:
But for the company, there is nothing new about the issue which federal regulators first flagged last August.
And yet, as far back as March, Fiat Chrysler was telling federal investigators that it already had potential solutions.
As I stepped out, the vehicle started moving backwards and the driver door struck me, knocking me to the ground on my back, a Jeep Grand Cherokee owner from Morganton, N.C., wrote to safety officials last summer. The left front tire rolled over my pelvic area, causing serious injury.
But as the safety agency edits and Fiat Chrysler seeks a fix for the rollover problem, incidents and accidents have continued. By February, the agency had counted 314 complaints, 121 crashes and 30 injuries, including a fractured pelvis and ruptured bladder.
By mid-April, when the company issued a recall, the automaker had 700 reports potentially related to the issue, including 212 crashes and 41 injuries.
Fiat Chrysler introduced the gear-shifter design, which it calls the Monostable, in 2011.
2000
The recall of the shifter is unusual because it apparently does not involve a mechanical or electronic failure. Instead it is an ergonomic issue involving a new design whose operation is not intuitive to some owners.
The month before the August notification, the N.H.T.S.A. had publicly chastised the company, which acknowledged delaying recalls in almost two dozen cases going back to 2013 and affecting millions of vehicles.
This represents a significant failure to meet a manufacturers safety responsibilities, Mark Rosekind, the head of the safety agency, said at the time.
Again, I hope they go under. I classify Fiat Chrysler in the same category as tobacco companies now. They should all fold.
That Monostable gearshift was an incompetent, stupid idea for which the company is responsible.
Pay close attention to "The recall is unusual"
This case will set the precedent for such issues. -

The company has the dismal record. Had they taken action last year this tragedy may have been prevented.
I suspect you are somehow tied to Fiat Chryslerperhaps employment, stock, etc.
If Anton hadn't bought that damned Jeep he'd still be here.
But he did, and now he has died in a horrific fashion. The company is accountable, and they are going to pay with their reputation and their corporate survival. -

So now I'm a simpleton. Well, read some of the other entries. You just insulted a lot of people.
That's it. Resorting to personal attacks is one of the most childish acts a person can commit on these boards. I have no time for bantering with someone who resorts to that.
Besides, YOU are off-topic. This is a thread about what we HOPE will happen.
This is not a session of
Lessons in Litigation 101
.
I'm bored with your lectures on litigation.
You have no more idea of the results of all the litigation Fiat Chrysler will face than any of the rest of us, much less the effects of all this negative publicity. And you ignore the FACTS I shared here.
I will close by repeating something I wrote in my first response to your post:
WAIT AND SEE. -

No. He was checking out his mail. They should sue the Mail System. If there was no mail anymore, there wouldn't be necessary to go to your mail box to see if there were bills or letters there. Or maybe they should sue the civil engineer who built a sliding driveway instead of making it horizontal.

Read some of his other posts.
Yes, I'd say he IS really that damn stupid.
and seems very bitter

Bring on those lawsuits. That won't bring Anton back but Fiat Chrysler must be held accountable. They only care about money, so that's where to hit them.
If Anton hadn't bought that damn Jeep he'd still be here
your right but its sad
Look like Tarzan talk like Jane! HAHA
