• holding that a complaint alleging a design defect that was likely to cause damage and create safety hazards was insufficient to state a cause of action
• holding no cause of action for defect that never manifests itself
• dismissing fraud and warranty claims for alleged engine defect where engine has not malfunctioned and plaintiff alleges diminished value only
• dismissing claim for breach of implied warranty of merchantability brought under New Jersey law where plaintiff did not allege any actual mechanical difficulties with his vehicle
• stating breach of warranty and common law fraud require damage and the plaintiff had not suffered actual damage where he alleged his engine was \likely\ to leak
• \The basic problem in this case is that plaintiff Yost has not alleged that he has suffered any damages. He has not stated that the engine in his vehicle is defective in any way.\
