Auto and vehicle settlements
Auto settlements reimburse vehicle owners for defects, failed parts, and recall-related costs. They usually pay actual out-of-pocket money — repair bills, rental cars, or the value lost on a resale — so keeping receipts and repair orders matters more here than in most settlements. Several also extend the manufacturer's warranty rather than paying cash. Each settlement below lists the covered model years and what it pays.
