Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The son and father may be successful in the lawsuit if they can prove that the manufacturer failed to use reasonable care in designing, manufacturing, or warning the purchasers about intended uses and foreseeable misuses. This falls under the legal concept of product liability. The fact that the car was sold "AS IS" or that the son has no privity of contract may not necessarily impact the case. However, proving that the manufacturer knew of the defect and failed to correct it may strengthen the case further.
