Canada's Ford Motor Co. has also been hit with an aggressive class-action lawsuit, accusing it of violating antitrust rules restricting the export of low-cost Canadian-made cars into the United States.

 

However, the court declined to resume the charges against Ford.

Charges against U.S. and Canadian automakers, the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association and the National Automobile Dealers Association have been adjudicated, settled or settled in bankruptcy.

The lawsuit alleges that imported Canadian cars cost less than similar U.S.-made cars, and that a 2000 F350 Crewcab 4x4 DRW Lariat imported from Canada could cost $8,265 less than a U.S. version.

The lawsuit accuses the automaker of blacklisting export agents, amending franchise agreements to prohibit export sales, imposing vehicle distribution restrictions, forcibly terminating distributions, invalidating authorizations and refusing to inform export agents about recalls.

The appeals committee said the plaintiffs had provided significant evidence, including phone calls and private interviews with the manufacturer, Ford Canada's general counsel.

Ford Canada spokesman Matt Drennan-Scace said he would not comment on the ongoing lawsuit.
