Example complaints

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

“Rented budget truck in alabama on 8/30. Drove from alabama to iowa. Rented an auto transport in addition to the Ford E-350 (2012). The E-350 was the only one available and I needed to take it because I had no other option but to move on that date. The E-350 had the following dangerous issues: 1) nearly bald front left tire. 2) windshield wipers did not reliably clear rain from windshield (blurred vision) 3) had to manually pump fuel every 1/2 gallon. The fuel pump would cut off every 1/2 gallon even though the truck was half full of fuel. This happened at two different gas stations. …”
