Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Passenger side seat belt locks in place while in motion regardless of whether the brake is pressed or not. Stays locked in place during long road trips until seat belt is disconnected and reconnected. This happens frequently (when I have a passenger) ever since I bought this vehicle 5 years ago. I am not sure if this is a safety issue??”
NHTSA complaint #11184403, filed 2019-03, 35,000 miles“My Ford EDGE 2011 3.5 6cyl while in motion, stopped running and three new electric modules and 6 cores had been replaced and the unit still doesn't run normal and has a burning smell in the motor. Unit has been for the last 1 month at the authorized Ford dealer and now they want to charge me the catalytic. Almost +2k in bills.”
NHTSA complaint #11281701, filed 2019-11, 92,000 miles“Rear seat center seat belt latch is in a location that is extremely hard to use and when the seat belt does get buckled, it is so uncomfortable that I have had people unbuckle. You actually sit right on the latch when it is buckled. There really should be a fix available so that the latch end of the center buckle can be moved out of the way of where you sit. I can't imagine how a person with a car seat would try to use this.”
NHTSA complaint #10403177, filed 2011-05, 500 miles“All doors are closed but door ajar notification is present prohibiting doors from locking and interior lights from dimming. This is a safety issue whereby the interior lights are distracting during night-time driving.”
NHTSA complaint #10725184, filed 2015-06, 40,302 miles“On october 2016, the driver was westbound on 2 lane route 40 near springfield, ohio. A medical condition caused the driver to pass out. The auto veered off the road initially traveling approximately 40 miles per hour. It crossed through a yard and hit nose first into a hill. Almost $10,000 worth of damage was caused to the front end of the vehicle. The airbag did not inflate and the driver sustained head and facial injuries due to contact with the steering wheel. The driver also sustained deep brusing to the chest due to the seat belt restraint. …”
