HOUSTON — A couple claims AutoNation Ford sold them a F250 truck with a contaminated fuel system.
Jose Martinez, et ux., Sandra Martinez, filed a complaint March 3 in the Harris County District Court against Charlie Thomas Ford LTD, doing business as AutoNation Ford Gulf Freeway and Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, alleging liability in violation of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act and fraud.
The plaintiffs purchased a 2018 Ford F250 from AutoNation Ford for $60,852.03 on Oct. 19, 2019.
