Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The motor would die and then accelerate suddenly, sometimes making a cranking noise. The service report stated that there no problem. In addition, when the vehicle was parked and wanted to change from parking to drive, it would be stuck, making it difficult to change the transmission, usually producing a loud cranking noise as if the transmission was to explode. Eventually, in february 2005 the motor broke down and both the motor and transmission had to be replaced. The dealer (bayamon Ford) replaced the motor in march 2005 and when the transmission was received it was replaced in april 2005. …”
