Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I recently spent over $1,000 having the engine check light fixed along with other repairs. I took the car back to super lowe Ford several times after I purchased it because the light stayed on. Super lowe said it was gas cap is loose and it's a short, we can disconnet it if you want us to etc. It would be off for a few days, then right back on. I was also informed that it really doesn't mean anything, just don't drive in california. Why does the light stay on?”
