Porsche 3G Telematics Plaintiff Dismisses Claims Against VW
Plaintiff Peter Grayson voluntarily dismissed without prejudice his 3G telematics claims against Volkswagen Group of America and VW’s German parent, said a notice he filed Monday (docket 3:22-cv-06105) in U.S. District Court for New Jersey in Trenton. Each party will bear its own costs, it said. His claims remain against Porsche Cars North America (PCNA). He previously dismissed his claims against Porsche’s German parent (see 2302230003). Grayson’s case against PCNA is one of about a half-dozen class actions pending in various jurisdictions seeking to hold automakers accountable for discontinuing in-vehicle reception of 3G network services like roadside assistance without telling consumers their vehicle telematics equipment wouldn't work after wireless carriers shut down their 3G service offerings. Grayson himself is the plaintiff in a nearly identical complaint against BMW (see 2303080055).
