Ford Motor Co. Hit With $3.3 Million Verdict

Jurors in Georgia have found that Ford Motor Co. is liable for $3.3 million in damages for the death of a woman whose seat back broke in a rear-end collision. More than 70 lawsuits have been filed against Ford involving claims that the front seat of the Tempo is prone to breaking free during accidents. Ford maintains that the seats are designed to yield in order to protect passengers from receiving the full brunt of a collision. Tom Opdyke, Atlanta Journal-Constitution 12/13/2007
