Example complaints

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

“I own a 2003 lincoln navigator. 2 problems..1. Power liftgate does not work, causing running boards not to deploy..sometimes I was able to pull fuse for liftgate and everything would reset and work for about 1 day. Now that will not work...2 my overdrive lite flashes. Took car to Ford dealer and paid for 1 hr labor with no results..I was told that they were getting 4 or 5 error codes on transmission, but I had to pay for additional labor for them to drop transmission to hopefully isolate problem..there is a 4/50k warranty on transmission, and I have just over 70k. …”
