Example complaints

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

“My headlights and tail lights just come on all by themselves, or if you open or close the doors---they come on or go off. Really scary stuff.I took the cover off, and there is water inside the rear lights. I had this same problem on my f-150 truck in 1998. Why hasnt Ford fixed this problem by now???”
