Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I am a contractor for fedex home delivery and own the truck in reference. After approx 4900 miles, the truck failed safety inspection by fedex and needed the front tires replaced. Upon investigation, it was found that the tires suffered major/excessive tread wear after just one month on the road. When I addressed utilimaster, the body company, about the issue I was told it was not their responsibility and to contact Ford. Ford explained the same and told me to contact utilimaster. …”
NHTSA complaint #10608123, filed 2014-07, 4,900 miles“During my 1500 mile recommended oil change service, the Ford dealer service technician found a leak of hydraulic fluid that turned out to be coming from the power steering / power braking hydro boost unit. He determined that the leak was caused by a factory over-tightening of a bolt on the unit that stripped the thread and caused the leak. The booster and associated hoses or lines needed to be replaced. I was told that driving the vehicle without the repair would have been very dangerous and could have caused a total failure of the brakes.”
