Hagens Berman: Shelby GT350 Mustang Owners File New Class Action Lawsuit Against Ford for Fraud and Breach of Warranty Claims Relating to Limp Mode Defect
DEFENDANT NAME: Ford Motor Company
CASE NUMBER: 1:17-cv-21087-XXXX
COURT: U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida
PRACTICE AREA: Automotive Litigation
STATUS: Active
DATE FILED: 03/22/17

Class-action lawsuit says owners deserve reparation for Ford knowingly selling so-called “track-ready” cars with defective and dangerous powertrains
March 22, 2017 04:06 PM Eastern Daylight Time
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Consumers nationwide today sued Ford for knowingly selling allegedly defective Shelby GT350 models that while marketed as “track-ready” cannot actually be operated safely on a racetrack, according to Hagens Berman and Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen, co-counsel law firms representing the plaintiffs.
The ability to purchase a track-capable car that could also operate on the street is a key factor in what led purchasers to buy the Shelby GT350 Mustang, according to the suit, but Shelby GT350 Mustangs with the Base Model or Technology Package model can overheat due to defective transmissions and rear differentials that cannot keep cool enough to function at high speeds without external transmission and differential coolers. When this occurs, the vehicles go into Limp Mode, where the vehicle suddenly loses power and rapidly decelerates. As a result, these “track-ready” race cars prove useless on the racetrack and drivers don’t get what they paid for.
The lawsuit, filed Mar. 22, 2017, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, seeks monetary damages for a proposed nationwide class of consumers who purchased or leased the affected vehicles, as well as injunctive relief for Ford’s misconduct related to the design, manufacture, marketing, sale and lease of affected vehicles.
