Ford 3G Telematics Litigant Seeks to Add Additional Plaintiffs, Allegations

Defendant Ford and plaintiff Michael Scriber stipulate to set a schedule for Scriber to file an amended 3G telematics complaint against the automaker with additional plaintiffs and allegations, and to allow Ford to respond to that complaint 30 days after that filing, said their joint motion Friday (docket 3:22-cv-01716) in U.S. District Court for Southern California in San Diego. Scribner’s first amended complaint would be due May 8, and Ford’s answer, including its motion to compel Scriber’s dispute to arbitration, June 7, said the motion. Scriber’s case against Ford is one of about a half-dozen class actions in various jurisdictions that seek to make automakers accountable for discontinuing in-vehicle reception of 3G network services due to obsolete telematics equipment installed in their vehicles (see 2211070032).
