One glaring DM headline charged that "the Fiat Europa has brakes which are a danger to your life." Fiat sued for $375,000, arguing that one case of jammed brakes hardly justified a blanket indictment of all Fiats. DM is also currently being sued by a watch company, a furniture mail-order house, a concocter of hair restorer and a bubble-bath maker...
