Example complaints

Fuel system: “Vehicle in motion going up hill. Stalled out because of fuel filter plugged, located in fuel tank. Almost was hit by semi because vehicle stopped running. July 9, 2018. Ford no longer puts filter in tank. Most fuel filters on this type of vehicle are located on frame outside of fuel tank. Engineer's mistake? Repairs had to be made and charge was $1414. Contacted Ford complaint div. July 20. They have not replied or answer my complaint. These vehicles should have been recalled years ago, however seems as it has gone unnoticed. …”

NHTSA complaint #11120629, filed 2018-08, 33,305 miles

Other or unknown: “The vehicle is a 2010 fleetwood jamboree sport 25g motor home on Ford e450 chassis. The mounting brackets for the propane tank cracked and the propane tank was close to falling off the vehicle. If the tank falls off while driving it will break the hose on the way out, leak high pressure propane, be hit by the rear tires and likely lead to a crash and fire. Its obvious with one look the brackets are poorly engineered and likely to fail with time. The propane tank is suspended from two simple l-shaped angle iron brackets with no gussets and no support of the far end of the brackets.”
