I'm not sure which "Chrysler asleep in the passenger seat" lawsuit you're talking about, but if it's real then the Chances are they lost the lawsuit specifically because the manual lacked a warning. that's why products have stupid warning labels like "not to be used in a bathtub" on a toaster.
"we" also wouldn't be paying for these lawsuits because companies should have an expense budget that includes miscellaneous expenses. am I saying we should all go out and sue every company over every little thing, no. of course not. Am I saying companies should be held responsible to their marketing promises, yes. if Ford outright said "you need the R for heavy track use" I'd say it was a non issue but that's not the case.

The Chrysler lawsuit HAD a warning in the manual. They still ended up paying. As for Ford I don’t recall ads where they said race this car it’s fine. As far as warnings you are able to ask questions at the dealership. To me it’s a ridiculous lawsuit. Anyone that buys a car and tracks it should be reading the manual and prepping the car which includes researching what equipment you should have to do so. Shame we have to protect ourselves from common sense. I wouldn’t track my SS off the showroom floor.
