Example complaints

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

“Several times we have complained to the dealer that it was difficult to get into the passenger seat as there is nothing to grab onto when climbing in. We purchased 2 vehicles at the same time. The other vehicle is a taurus which has handles everywhere to assist climbing into the car. Finally we are putting on running boards at our expense. The dealer referred us to vantastiks which is a company that could alter our vehicle. At vantastiks we were told about the motorists mobility assistance program that Ford has. We were never told about this program initially. …”
