This is the official Court website for California's Ford Explorer Cases class action lawsuit.  If you live in California, and you bought, owned or leased a 1991-2001 model year Ford Explorer in California, you could be affected by this class action, which is about whether Ford concealed a dangerous design flaw that increases the tendency among these Explorers to roll over, causing consumers to buy or lease Explorers, and to pay more than what they should have.  This is not a recall, or a case about personal injuries or wrongful deaths. The Court has not decided if Ford did anything wrong.
