June 4, 2010 - Arent Fox partner Aaron Jacoby, who is the co-chair of the firm’s automotive practice was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times in an article on the Chrysler Group’s recall of 25,000 Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass vehicles.

“Toyota has had a series of embarrassing global recalls of accelerator pedals and other issues that involved millions of vehicles, as well as a record $16.4-million fine from U.S. safety regulators. 'Everybody has been paying much more attention since the Toyota recalls and product liability issues,' said Aaron Jacoby, who heads the automotive group at law firm Arent Fox law in Los Angeles. 'When manufacturers and suppliers have a problem, they want to solve it in a way that best deals with the issue for consumers and shareholders.' In addition to facing more than 200 federal lawsuits over alleged sudden-acceleration problems, Toyota has also seen its market share slide in the U.S.”
