Ford F-150 oil consumption class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: A group of Ford F-150 owners filed a class action lawsuit against Ford Motor Company.
- Why: The plaintiffs claim Ford F-150 trucks have an oil consumption defect.
- Where: The Ford class action lawsuit was filed in Michigan federal court.
A new class action lawsuit claims Ford Motor Company failed to disclose an oil consumption defect in certain F-150 trucks that causes the vehicles to consume engine oil at an excessive rate.
Plaintiffs Daniel Bryan and 11 others filed the class action complaint against Ford on Aug. 28 in Michigan federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer laws.
According to the Ford F-150 oil consumption lawsuit, 2018-2020 F-150 trucks have a defect that prevents the engine from maintaining proper oil levels, leading to premature wear, stalling and even failure.
Plaintiffs claim owners must monitor the oil level more frequently than recommended in the owner’s manual and add more oil to the engine than is typically required to keep the engine properly lubricated.
Ford allegedly knew about the defect but failed to disclose it to consumers
The class action lawsuit claims the company received numerous complaints about the issue and issued technical service bulletins to dealerships but failed to inform consumers or provide a suitable repair or replacement.
The plaintiffs say Ford’s marketing of the F-150 as a durable and dependable vehicle is misleading, alleging Ford’s actions have caused them to suffer financial losses, including out-of-pocket expenses for additional engine oil and repairs, and diminished the value of their vehicles.
As a result, the plaintiffs are suing for violations of state consumer protection laws and fraudulent concealment. They are seeking certification of the class action lawsuit, damages, fees, costs and a jury trial.
In August, Ford recalled more than 103,000 F-150 pickup trucks due to a potential defect in the rear axle hub bolt that could result in vehicle rollaway or a loss of drive power. A Ford recall in May was issued for 312,000 vehicles, including the 2025 F-150, Ranger, Expedition, Bronco and Lincoln Navigator models, due to a defect in the electronic power brake assist.
