Kahn & Associates Announces Consumer Class Action on Behalf of Illinois Residents Against Toyota Motor Corporation and Certain SubsidiariesCHICAGO --(Business Wire)-- Kahn & Associates, Ltd., a Northfield, Illinois law firm with substantial experience in the prosecution of nationwide consumer and investor class actions announced today that it has filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County on behalf of a class of Illinois purchasers of new and used Toyota and Lexus brand vehicles containing the Electronic Throttle Control Systems Toyota first installed in the 1990s. According to the complaint, Toyota failed to install proper fail safe features to prevent sudden acceleration episodes to which the system is prone, concealed the problem from the public for many years and has not properly addressed the problem to date. The complaint alleges that thousands of Illinois residents have had their lives disrupted and lost time and money because they purchased what was incorrectly presented as an especially safe and reliable vehicle. The complaint seeks damages for Illinois purchasers for their overpayment in purchasing their vehicles, their loss of use due to fear of sudden acceleration, their loss of time in dealing with this problem and for loss of resale value. Punitive damages are also sought. Kahn & Associates has been actively engaged in commercial litigation in federal and state courts throughout the United States for more than 25 years. Kahn & Associates has been appointed lead or co-lead counsel in cases by a number of federal and state courts throughout the United States on behalf of aggrieved consumers and investors.
