Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Automatic door locking once the vehicle reaches a certain low speed has failed to work on a number of occasions. Unless I am being attentive enough to notice they have not locked I'm sure there has been a number of times the doors have been unlocked for an entire trip. I assume this would be a safety issue in the event of a crash if the doors were not locked.”

When I put the car in drive, there was little acceleration even though I had the accelerator to the floor. I continued on and after a little while, about 2 miles, the car ran alright and I made it home safely. I immediately contacted the Ford dealership in town, and dropped the vehicle off this morning 7/29/2014.”

NHTSA complaint #11034048, filed 2017-10, 152,616 miles“My transmission is being replaced at 96,400 miles. I've been having intermittent problems where it would clunk when shifting to the next gear. I've paid hundreds of dollars between 2 Ford dealerships and 2 automotive repair shops just to try to figure out what the issue is. But last week as I started my 30 mile drive home, my car stopped shifting. Now I'm paying roughly $5,000 to get a transmission in my car. On top of paying $200 for a rental car during all of this. This vehicle needs to be recalled!”
