NAAG Members, log in here to enter the backpages. Antitrust Bankruptcy Civil Rights Consumer Protection ... Tobacco Settlement Documents Multistate Actions: 52 Attorneys General and the District of Columbia Corporation Counsel Reach a $51.5 Million Settlement With Ford Motor Company Attorneys General from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia Corporation Counsel reached a settlement with Ford Motor Company, resolving allegations that the company misled consumers about the safety of its sport utility vehicles. As part of the settlement, Ford will fund a $30 million consumer education campaign on SUV risks and safety tips. The Attorneys General asserted that Ford failed to warn drivers of the risk of tire failure on some Ford SUVs and used deceptive advertising to sell SUVs and tires. The states contend that Ford continued to equip its SUVs with Firestone ATX and Wilderness AT tires, even after the company knew that the tires had an unacceptably high failure rate and often caused roll-over accidents. Ford also was accused of running ads that exaggerate the safe loading capacity and maneuverability of its SUVs and the quality of aftermarket tires sold by its "Around the Wheel" program. Ford denied the allegations. The states will use $30 million from Ford to mount a nationwide public service consumer education campaign on SUV safety. The remainder will go to the states for their costs of investigation and for litigation and consumer education. The settlement does not include consumer restitution because Ford already has spent $2 billion to replace tires in the 53 jurisdictions.
