Re: H-F class action suit
Hate they have 4 different prices for the same thing! FOUR. MSRP, Coupon, Club, and Internet and they just smile. I'd rather pay 2 or 3 times for something made in US or Europe. My son-in-laws HF rule: but nothing electrical or with a blade. So, I got some nice moving blankets for $6.

"If, after payments for all valid claims have been calculated, the total amount paid to Class Members, plus administrative fees, plus attorney’s fees, is less than $23 million, Class Members with valid claims may be eligible for additional compensation on a pro rata basis. The amount of the additional compensation will depend on what kind of documentation provided with your Claim Form, whether you opted for a cash payment or a gift card, and the number of valid claims." I agree with Tom and others all I'm worried about is final cost to me which I feel things I have purchased there have been very reasonable |

Re: H-F class action suit
Ronn, I own a VW TDI, but older than those affected, and I won't buy another German Car. Why? certainly not it's fuel mileage, which is excellent! Certainly not the car's handling, which is the same as my SAAB 9000 (Excellent!) It's the fact that it's over engineered (It's a German Thing) and their propensity to want to be the vendor for their cars for the rest of the car's working life. All the fluids, buy the manual, everything from the engine oil to the ATF, antifreeze, brake fluid, Have I forgotten anything? All are proprietory! Dealers substitute Castrol Synthetic for engine oil, but that's the only thing Every thing else must be purchased from VW. Maybe not enough research has been done. But this is not a good thing and I'm not going to play their game.And don't get me started on their key chips! Screw VW!

Re: H-F class action suit
My experience with class action suits is that the lawyers managing the suit get the biggest slice of the award for service and administrative fees. Individuals participating in the suit get very little out of it.
The class action suit I got involved in was with GM and their defective automatic transmissions circa 1980. I settled on the side with a GM VP, so my transmission repair was paid for.

Re: H-F class action suit
I'm not sold on many of the newer cars, but I do own a few VW diesel Rabbits from 1979 and 1980, and they are excellent (except for the water leaking past the windshield and onto the fuse box), plus they all get 55 MPG, and are easy to work on.

Re: H-F class action suit
What happened to "caveat emptor"????? I think this guy is an idiot and does not want to accept responsibility for his own stupid mistake.
...or for that matter "common sense". (oop...forgot...it's not so common anymore) Common sense is that thing that makes you look up a couple of sources for an item that you are going to buy and comparative shop...with one of the items being how much use is this tool going to get. I do brake line fabrication all the time so I didn't buy any of the tools from HF...I spent $250 for a ktool international flaring tool. BUT.... I occasionally do truck transmissions...so I got the HF lift for $hundreds less. |

Re: H-F class action suit
Yep, lots of mis-information here. I just do not understand why some folks think it is OK for a business to lie about their product and get away with it.

Re: H-F class action suit
I received the notice of the HF class action via eMail a couple of days ago. I pretty much just ignored it, didn't bother to actually read all of it.
I just figured that it really wasn't worth my time, since if I totalled up every thing I have ever bought from HF, and I was awarded 100%, I wouldn't have enough to buy Sunday Dinner.
