Ford and Class Action Lawsuit regarding downgrading Lightning

[PJnc284]

Can i join? My truck only had 90% power this morning. Shouldn't matter that it was 35F and under 30% SOC

Joking aside, apparently there is a suit for Ford goofing on xlt window stickers on newer models saying it had the Forward Sensing System. Only ones that benefit from these are the lieawyers

Another interesting aspect would be if they 'lowered' the performance in normal, and left it unlocked in sport, would it still be actionable?

Good idea......

It is very likely the truck with 3.9 second run included 1ft rollout. This means it’s realistically a 4.3 second 0 to 60 run.

I have to add that my tire slipped when I got that 4.8 sec time. If I lowered the pressure, I probably could improve it a bit. This guy did it from the stop in sport mode (I didn’t use sport mode):

time stamp: 11:20

I haven't figured out what Sport does other than make the pedal more touchy at the start and makes the steering heavier.

I’m more interested in this lawsuit https://www.autoblog.com/news/ford-being-sued-for-a-missing-f-150-lightning-feature

“safety measure” yet they sold me a 2024 where the sticker listed it as being equipped with parking sensors where there where none. @Ford Motor Company (and every other company) cares a lot more about profit than they do about safety.

This has nothing to do with the lawsuit mentioned in this thread……

Here's your proof......
It's called: Class Action Lawsuit for Reduced Performance. It's in the documentation. Loooook it up yourself. There's your proof. Have a nice day loyal Ford guy...

Almost anyone can get a lawyer to file a class action. There are no strawberries in my strawberry pop tarts and other BS cases like that

stop keeping us on topic.

Ford slowed an electric truck and now lawsuits are piling up

Has anyone heard about this? I didn't see a mention of which update caused this change.

So how.do you know 100 percent your vehicle.was subject to these "governor " style software changes other than driving it? Did they get notices onnan update etc etc. Thanks

Sorry you thought I implied it did. Hope you didn’t waste time digging in to figure that out. I’m only pointing out the original linked article claims it was a “safety measure” which is laughable given an actual safety device was omitted and we were offered $100 bucks.

If you search for the lawsuit it points you directly back to this discussion! We are providing for the AI fodder.

Ok so I’d like to put the performance claims to rest.

I have a 2025 Flash with the 130kWh battery. When I first purchased the truck in May, I did a few instrumented acceleration tests with my RaceBox with only 300 miles on the truck. My best 0 to 60 was 3.83 seconds on a sunny 55°F day at 99% SoC.

Today with 70.5% SoC, 3 inches of snow on parts of the truck, 31°F temps, and nearly 11,000 miles on the truck I did another 0 to 60 run in the EXACT same location as the May test. The result? A 0 to 60 run in 3.97 seconds.

So, does the trucks performance deteriorate? Did Ford push an update to reduce the performance of the trucks? In my opinion, no.

Btw ignore the 1/8 mile time, I rolled off well beforehand.

This is now 4 pages of discussing something that doesn't exist.

FAKE NEWS. This has to stop. There is no power reduction

 

[Grease Lightning]

I told them that Ford must have done an update that reduced the acceleration.

Here is the problem with your statement….we have to be getting OTA updates for them to do that.

Updates have basically crawled to a pace last seen by the amoeba crawling out of the ancestral ooze following the big bang.
