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 July 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Ford Motor Company for, among other things, allegedly falsely representing on Ford Truck window stickers that the vehicles come equipped with a jack and spare tire when, according to plaintiffs, lifted trucks (which have larger tires and sit higher than stock trucks of the same make and model) come equipped with jacks and spare tires that fit the stock trucks instead of the lifted trucks. (Leverett et al v. Ford Motor Co., Case No. 17-cv-751, W. D. OK.)
