Example complaints

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

“Burning smell under dash)when brake pedal and/or door was open. Eventually, I couldn't start the car as the 'brake lights' would not come on. I called the Ford dealer in a rage that they had idiot lights for everything else,. And as far as I knew, hand signals were still legal, they told me to turn the ignition 1 click, put the car in neutral, then I would be able to start the car. After bringing the car to a certified electrical mechanic, he stated that Ford put the shortest, tightest wire connecting the brake pedal and after constant applications the wire snapped. …”
