Ok.... If the guy was pushing larger torque loads than normal. Then he should not have a settlement. Nonetheless no matter how bad you treat a rear end. If it has stock power it should NEVER fail. Now if the guy was pushing 1000 hp then ok I see your point. If the car was stock then something needs to be done about it.
Now concerning the 185k. Well you have to do something if the company push crazy stuff on the market. Like Ford, Dodge and GM in the 80's. They all should have to pay for what they did. In this case I'm sure their is more to it than a guy driving his car to church and the golf course. At the same time I don't think he was dumping 1500 foot pounds of torque on the rear end while trying to tow his mobile home. I'm sure the truth is somewhere in between. So the best we can hope is that the jury did the right thing.
