Product liability: Whether Daimler AG can be held liable for the alleged defects of the vehicle. 2. Breach of warranty: Whether there was a breach of express or implied warranties regarding the vehicle's safety and performance. 3.

The plaintiff filed a lawsuit seeking compensation for damages incurred due to these alleged defects. **Arguments:** - **Plaintiff’s Arguments:** Loffredo argues that Daimler AG failed to ensure the safety and reliability of their vehicle and that the company should be held accountable for the consequences of these defects. The plaintiff emphasizes that adequate warnings and disclosures regarding the potential issues were not provided. - **Defendant’s Arguments:** Daimler AG contends that the vehicle in question met all relevant safety standards and that Loffredo’s claims are exaggerated or unfounded. The defendant may argue that proper maintenance and usage were not followed by the plaintiff or that the issues arose from circumstances outside the defendant's control. **Ruling:** (Insert the ruling details—e.g., whether the court ruled in favor of Loffredo or Daimler AG, any awards granted, or orders for further proceedings.) **Conclusion:** The case of Loffredo v.
