Example complaints

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

“My transmission went about two weeks ago. I was told that Ford had bad transmissions in the years of my van, by the mechanic. Then friday night I was driving along and the van started acting funny, not accelerating and a wrench light came on. Then a little engine light came on and my car died. I got it to go about 30mph on the expressway and got it to the garage. :[ I looked up what happened and found out that the throttle body problem is common in the Ford, just not the e250. But it is the same problem as the escape, so obviously a Ford problem!! …”
