NHTSA complaint #10207474, filed 2007-10, 125 miles“Steering wheel is loose, feels like it could come. Air bag light is on, cruise controlnot working correctly. All these things are safety related and should be fixed. I think steering wheel should be repaired free of charge, since it's a major problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10945351, filed 2017-01, 118,000 miles“While driving at 65 MPH cruise control safety switch failed. Consumer parked the vehicle in driveway and the wiring caught on fire after being parked for about five to ten minutes. Consumer extinguished the fire, and vehicle was towed to dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #10117019, filed 2005-03, 118,000 miles“The front suspension ball joints were replaced at my cost. They had started squeaking and were worn badly. My mechanic suggests that the entire front suspension be rebuilt for safety because Ford does not have grease joints on any these parts. When the horn button was pushed for longer than a few seconds, it used to blow the fuse. The last time it did this, it also disabled the cruise control. I was told by my mechanic the only fix was to replace the steering column where these wires were shorting together internally.”
