Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Heat blend door failed, no front heat/defrost, safety hazard, $391 to replace. Small plastic piece broke and only cold air produced through front heater. Found at least 9 other odi documents on the same problem for just the 97 model year, listed under e150, Club Wagon and econoline models. More than a coincidence it seems.”
