WHEREAS, Ford’s response to Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Class Action 

Complaint is due on May 23, 2018;

plaintiff’s vehicle and the date each plaintiff purchased his or her vehicle; and 

(2) waive all arguments that the filing date of the new plaintiffs relates back to the 

date of the filing of the original complaint (i.e., the filing date of the new plaintiffs’ 

claims shall be the date the Third Amended Complaint is filed);

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs agree to file their Third Amended Complaint by
