Made In America group files complaint against Ford, Chrysler for misleading ads

Made In America group files complaint against Ford, Chrysler for misleading ads

Ford and Chrysler have come under fire from the Made in the USA Foundation over certain advertisements. The foundation has filed complaints with the Federal Trade Commission for misleading ads, claiming that both automakers have advertised vehicles as made in America that were actually imported from foreign countries. The filing points out that Ford advertises the Fusion as an American car, when the vehicle is actually assembled in the automaker's facility in Sonora, Mexico. The complaint goes on to say that the advertisement is misleading and gives consumers the wrong impression about the sedan's origins. Chrysler fared no better.
