Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Engine stalls occasionally when in drive and at a stop, and sometimes instead of just dying it tries to stay running by flooring the accelerator causing me to hit curbs and my garage wall. I can avoid this by placing it in neutral temporarily. I have taken it to Ford about three times for this alone, but they cannot figure it out because it is an intermittent problem which they could not reproduce. Also the rear blend door flap for rear A/C deteriorates every year and needs replacing to stay cool in phoenix, az.”
