I don't know about lawsuits.. But, I certainly would be demanding my money back and looking to a different brand.
I think I had posted before, it's almost like we became the beta testers with these... And I will stick it through because the reality is that no one else competes on the same level as Castle. You either pay 150-200 for the MMM or a lot more for, on paper, an inferior product. If/When Castle gets it right, it's going to be a great ESC.. the question is.. how long? At this point, they have all winter for me. There may be another month or so of drivable weather before the crappy stuff sets in, which, I have pretty much written off as both of my MMMs are toast and I don't know when I'll get it back and if it will work.
As unpleasant as it may sound, it the reality of the situation currently.
I hope Patrick sticks around so we can all benefit from both sides, but as mentioned in a few instances, it's not always easy. Expectations are high, frustration runs high, especially of those going from the v1 to the v2 now.
