Firm is Investigating Claims that Ford Motor Company Deliberately
Misrepresented Fuel Economy Ratings for the 2019 Ford Ranger Truck
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, the national law firm of Baron & Budd announced an investigation
of vehicle manufacturer Ford Motor Company concerning falsified fuel
economy ratings for the 2019 Ford Ranger truck.
On April 26, 2019, a criminal investigation was launched by the
Department of Justice into Ford’s emission certification process.
According to news reports, “Ford has said that its own employees raised
concerns about its emissions certification testing, the results of which
also are used to calculate a vehicle’s EPA gas mileage ratings.”
Baron & Budd is now investigating whether Ford used the claims of fuel
efficiency to sell its vehicles, and whether Ford deceived consumers by
misrepresenting the factors used in its vehicle certification testing to
get better results. While the alleged cheating would be great for Ford’s
profits, it could depreciate the value of the vehicle creating a bigger
loss for the consumer.
“Lying to consumers for more profit is never acceptable,” said Baron &
Budd partner, Roland Tellis. “We are investigating this claim in an
effort to keep holding automakers accountable for defrauding consumers
and to promote more ethical behavior.”
Baron & Budd has a dedicated history of protecting the rights of people
in the arena of auto safety. The law firm represented vehicle owners in
the Volkswagen emission fraud lawsuit, which resulted in a class action
settlement of approximately $14 billion. Baron & Budd also helped
secured a $1.5 billion class action settlement in the Takata Airbag
Litigation.
If you bought or leased a 2019 model year Ford Ranger vehicle, you may
qualify to take legal action. Please call the national law firm of Baron
& Budd at 1-800-222-2766 to learn more.
Baron & Budd has the experience, support staff and resources to seek the
most compensation for your damages.
