Ford Motor Company faced many wrongful death lawsuits that started from a series of vehicle explosions that affected its popular Pinto sedans in the 1970s. The car’s gas tank was designed with a fault rear-facing gas tank that would often rupture in a minor rear end collision. As a result, many “fender benders” resulted in explosion, fire and death. It was the unsafe design of the product that caused these fatalities and therefore Ford Motor Company was liable to the families that lost their loved ones. Eventually the car was recalled.
