Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Received a letter from Ford although Ford is not calling this a recall I believe it is pretty serious. This if for the customer satisfaction program;17b28 Ford is saying the electronic throttle body may develop contamination and may result in the vehcile entering a protective low-speed mode which can be dangerous if this happens on the highway. I called my local dealer and they are saying that the the next appointment for this fix is not until august 2018! I think this is a pretty serious problem that Ford should fix right away. …”
