Toyota Motor Corp. has moved to dismiss hundreds of lawsuits seeking damages associated with its recalls related to sudden unintended acceleration.
Toyota filed the motions in response to the first consolidated complaints filed as part of the multidistrict litigation (MDL) against the automaker. More than 300 lawsuits seek economic damages for consumers and businesses plus damages for individuals who were injured or died in accidents attributed to sudden acceleration. The cases have been coordinated before U.S. District Judge James Selna in Santa Ana, Calif.
