Description
Plaintiff, Fredy Ortiz, on behalf of all plaintiffs sued Defendant, Ford Motor Co. for unjust enrichment in an amended class action complaint alleging he overpaid for his 1998 Ford Explorer beyond its true value due to the Defendants concealment of a design defect. The Plaintiffs vehicle had a design defect in that it was prone to rollover while cornering while its Firestone tires were inflated at the recommended tire pressure. This design defect was not disclosed to consumers in Defendants marketing prior to August 9, 2000. Thus, the Plaintiff seeks a partial refund of its purchase price. The Plaintiff seeks statewide class certification. The issue before this Court was whether the class representation satisfied the required elements of numerosity, commonality, typicality, adequacy, predominance and superiority under Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.220.
