Progressive Insurance named in class action lawsuit over its Snapshot usage based insurance program.

The device records and sends driving data directly to Progressive, and Progressive uses that information to calculate a participating customers insurance rate. After installation of the Snapshot device, driving data is analyzed for 3. Progressive claims that Snapshot customers can make changes to their driving habits that will lead to bigger discounts and huge savings. Through Progressives marketing and advertising campaign, Progressive implies that Snapshot is safe for use in vehicles. Progressive conveyed and continues to convey this deceptive message through a fully integrated advertising campaign, which utilizes a variety of media, including television, newspapers, magazines, direct mail and the Internet. Progressives representations, however, are false, misleading and reasonably likely to deceive the public since Snapshot always drains a vehicles battery, making the battery worth less than it would be without the Snapshot device. Many times a vehicles battery is drained to the point that the battery is non functional. Plaintiff brings this action on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated who have participated in the Snapshot program in the United States. This action seeks to halt Progressives dissemination of the false advertising message that Snapshot is safe for use in vehicles, correct the false and misleading perception it has created in the minds of consumers, and to obtain redress for those who have experienced damage to their vehicles by their participation in Snapshot.
