MADISON, Wis. –Attorney General Kaul today announced a $19.2 million multistate settlement with Ford Motor Company regarding claims that Ford falsely advertised the real-world fuel economy of model year 2013–2014 C-Max hybrids and the payload capacity of model year 2011–2014 Super Duty pickup trucks. Wisconsin will receive $325,247 from the settlement.
2013–2014 C-Max Hybrids. The investigation by the Attorneys General revealed that Ford made several misleading representations about 2013–2014 C-Max hybrids including: Misrepresenting the distance consumers could drive on one tank of gas;
Marketing that driving style would not impact real world fuel economy; and, Claiming superior real world fuel economy compared to other hybrids.
