AG worried about SUV advertising Attorney General Hardy Myers warned 16 manufactur- ers of sport utility vehicles that their SUV advertising was “blurring the line” between SUVs and automobiles and could be in violation of Ore- gon’s consumer protection laws. The warning came in a letter signed by attorneys gen- eral on behalf of 40 states and U.S. territories. “Recent SUV advertising goes too far when it depicts consumers handling these ve- hicles as if they had the same performance capabilities as automobiles, when in fact they are more truck-like,” Myers said. “The ads fail to ade- quately warn consumers, prior to purchase, of the SUVs’ unique handling problems and high centers of gravity. “The ads may encourage unsafe driving habits on our highways.” The letter calls attention to advertising which suggests or implies that any SUV can safely execute emergency avoidance maneuvers at high speeds, advertisement featur- ing “abundant cargo capac- ity,” which fail to warn con- sumers that weight and distri- bution are more critical to safe loading than volume. Also, “limit” advertise- ments that depict SUVs en- gaged in rugged, high-speed maneuvers and provide a small disclosure indicating the use of “professional drivers” on a “closed course.” Many of these same issues were addressed in December 2002 when all 50 states settled their deceptive advertising investigation of Ford Motor Corp. The investigation stemmed from a rash of Ford Explorer roll-overs following highway tread separations. The 2 1/2 investigation ended with Ford Motor Co. agreeing to pay $51.5 million and change their advertising prac- tices. Under the settlement, $30 million is going to a SUV Safety Awareness campaign scheduled to begin this fall. Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, May 7, 2003 Tygrachet R.
