Lieff Cabraser attorneys Robert J. Nelson and Scott Nealey discuss a wrongful death lawsuit based on a transmission defect in millions of Chrysler vehicles.

Recall of Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute

On December 10, 2004, Ford Motor Co. announced that it would be recalling 474,000 Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute sport-utility vehicles worldwide because a problem with the accelerator cable may prevent the engine from returning to the idle position, which could increase stopping distance and result in a crash.

The problem reportedly occurs when the liner over the accelerator cable pushes out and stops the accelerator pedal from going back to its original position, causing the engine to race. The vehicles involved in the recall are from the 2002-2004 model years and have 3.0 liter engines.
