Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Ford certified the c-max as being tow-able 4 wheels down behind a motorhome. Their instructions state that the ignition should off . In this state the brakes should not be active (unpowered). The problem is they sporadically become active (powered) then return to inactive for no apparent reason. With this happening there is no way to properly set a supplemental braking unit. Sometimes you are over breaking and other times not braking at all. It is very dangerous and caused me brake lockup three times on a major highway where I could not pull over. …”
