Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On march 25th I took my f150 in to the Ford dealership on a safety recall for the speed control they disconnected it. They told that they have no parts too fix it from Ford. How can this be when the recall is from 2005. I can't believe it would take this long. Someone needs to address the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10222292, filed 2008-03“2002 Ford econoline w/5.4 v8. From brand new until now the engine surges off idle. In parking lots this has been quite a problem as the van jumps 3 to 4 feet as I try to slowly back out of the parking space. Have scacred myself and a few pedestrians. This is not a safe situation and I haven't gotten any answers form Ford.”
