AGs and the Center for Class Action Fairness oppose Honda class action settlement

[forum_admin]

Twenty-five state attorneys general and the Center for Class Action Fairness are objecting to a proposed class action settlement with Honda that would allow attorneys to pocket $3 million while providing small refunds and DVDs on saving gas to consumers.

The case involves allegations that Honda misrepresented the fuel efficiency of its Civic Hybrid. Under the settlement, owners who trade in their car for certain other vehicles could get up to $1,000 on rebate or $100 in cash if they previously complained. Those who do not still own the car would get a $500 coupon.

Three firms filed the suit against Honda in March 2007 -- Cuneo Gilbert and LaDuca of Washington, Blecher and Collins of Los Angeles and Chimicles & Tikellis of Haverford, Pa.
