Example complaints

“My Ford e150, econo van came to a sudden stall when I was driving on high way. Once it got stalled, I l don't have steering, power and brake control. The van won't start and won't stay idle. Or running, but after like 20 times trying to restart the car, it started running again like normal. The sudden stalling happens more often when I was trying to make turns. Each time the engine stops, the check engine light, check tool light, and check gauge light came on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10362944, filed 2010-10, 46,856 miles“Throttle sticks and does not fully return to idle. Must ride the brakes very hard to stop properly. Hove not crashed, but have had near misses. Dealer addressed once while under warranty, but will not address repeated problems, now that warranty has expired, without charging $80 diagnostic fee + repairs. Second issue.... Side door fails to latch properly at the top. I am afraid it may fly open in a crash. Dealer has worked on it 5 times and it still does not close properly. Refuses to warrant it now.”
NHTSA complaint #10232665, filed 2008-06, 1,500 miles“I am unable to put fuel into my van without having gas spilled on me or my van. After I start trying to fill tank, the fuel tank can be completely empty, and still have fuel spilled all over. I have to stand there putting fuel in as slow as possible and this can take up to and even more then 30 minutes.”
