Brunner v. DaimlerChryslter
Christopher Brunner obtained a verdict against DaimlerChrysler Corporation (DaimlerChrysler) for breach of warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (Magnuson-Moss) (15 U.S.C. 2301 et seq.) for a defective 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee (the Jeep). The jury awarded the full purchase price of the Jeep, $28,040.58. The trial court denied DaimlerChrysler's motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict but granted it a new trial on the issue of damages.
On appeal, DaimlerChrysler contends it was entitled to a judgment notwithstanding the verdict because Brunner failed to present any evidence of his damages; Brunner's attorney misled the jury as to the proper measure of damages; the instructions on the Magnuson Moss cause of action were misleading; and a new trial should have been granted as to both liability and damages. Court affirm the judgment and the order.
