A class-action lawsuit targets Ford over 2024 F-150 Lightning trucks advertised with a Forward Sensing System that's actually missing, offering only a meager $100 refund despite higher repair costs and vehicle value loss. (148 characters)
## Lawsuit Overview
Car Complaints notes a class-action suit filed against Ford. It claims certain 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning models lack the Forward Sensing System, despite window stickers listing it as standard. Ford allegedly knew of the issue, notifying dealers on March 31 and mailing $100 refunds to buyers, calling it a sticker error.
### Key Plaintiff Details
California buyer Ibrahim Lunawadawala got his truck expecting the system per the Monroney label. In April 2025, Ford's letter confirmed its absence, blaming an unupdated sticker, but rejected repair coverage. He argues this caused diminished vehicle value and other damages.
> "Plaintiff Lunawadawala has suffered an ascertainable loss because of Ford’s misrepresentations, including but not limited to, diminished value of his vehicle and other consequential damages."
### Feature Description
The Forward Sensing System warns drivers of front obstacles at low speeds with beeps that intensify as objects near. Plaintiffs say Ford's compensation falls short, as aftermarket installs cost far more than $100. The suit, *Ibrahim Lunawadawala v. Ford Motor Company*, seeks better remedies in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California.
