Ford Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Allegedly Defective Batteries

A new class action lawsuit has been filed against Ford Motor Company, claiming that certain Ford vehicles contain defective batteries that drain prematurely, leaving owners stranded and facing costly repairs. The lawsuit alleges that Ford failed to properly address these battery-related issues, despite widespread consumer complaints.

Background of the Lawsuit

The lawsuit, filed in federal court, accuses Ford of selling vehicles with faulty batteries that lose charge unexpectedly, preventing the car from starting. According to the complaint, Ford knew, or should have known, about the issue but did not take adequate steps to notify customers or provide a permanent solution.

Many owners report that their vehicle’s 12-volt battery drains much faster than expected, leading to repeated jump-starts or early replacements. Some claim that even after replacing the battery, the issue persists, suggesting an underlying defect in Ford’s electrical system.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

The class action lawsuit includes several Ford models, particularly those equipped with start-stop technology and other electronic features that put increased demand on the battery. While an exact list of affected models is still being determined, complaints have been reported in popular vehicles such as:

  • 2021-2023 Ford Bronco Sport
  • 2022-2023 Ford Maverick

What Ford Owners Should Know

If the lawsuit moves forward, affected Ford owners may be eligible for compensation, including reimbursement for battery replacements, repairs, and other related expenses. Consumers are encouraged to keep repair records and document any battery-related issues.

How Ford Owners Can Take Back Control

While this class action lawsuit has been initiated, thousands of Ford owners are likely affected by the same alleged battery defect, with many expressing dissatisfaction over Ford’s handling of the problem. These types of issues often lead to escalated legal action, highlighting the importance of protecting consumer rights.
