Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The car has always run hot and I have had the compressor fixed and a month later I know have a burnt out blower motor that seems to be a common problem. I never was notified about the recall and than was told I missed the cut off date to file for a repair, bottom line I wasnt covered. I also brought my car in a day before my warranty was up and they didnt honor it, I was told it was too late.”

Now, sept. 8, 2004 when taking our 1995 Ford Contour to the shop for noise and difficulty driving, we find that the front spring had broken. We were advised to have the car towed, not driven to a local tire/front end shop for replacement. …”
