360-Degree Camera Systems in Ford Vehicles
Allegations: Marketing that the 360-degree camera system is a safety feature in vehicles when the system routinely malfunctions and does not work as advertised due to a defect
In August 2020, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Ford Motor Company for allegedly falsely advertising the fuel economy ratings of its 2019-2020 Ford Ranger and 2018-2020 F-150 series trucks. For example, the complaint claims that the company advertises that the 2018 Ford F-150 V6 truck gets 20 miles per gallon in the city and 26 miles per gallon on the highway when, according to plaintiffs, testing shows that the truck actually gets 17.7 miles per gallon in the city and 22.7 miles per gallon on the highway. (Ceremello et al v. Ford Motor Company, Case No. 20-cv-12272, E.D. Mich.)
