Ford Deadline Extended in Class Action Over Obsolete Telematics

U.S. District Judge Michael Anello for Southern California in San Diego signed an order Friday (docket 3:22-cv-01716) granting the joint motion of plaintiff Michael Scriber and defendant Ford to extend the deadline to Feb. 6 for Ford to respond to Scriber’s breach of warranty, unfair competition and fraudulent omission class action. Scriber brought the allegations Nov. 3 to remedy violations of law after the internet-enabled features on his 2020 Ford Fusion Energi “were rendered inoperable after AT&T’s 3G phase out in 2022 due to Ford’s installation of obsolete telematics equipment,” said the complaint (see 2211070032).
