Example complaints

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

“I was driving my vehicle in rush hour traffic and it displayed a wrench symbol and went into limp mode. Due to the car slowing down, I had issues getting to the side of the highway. I had it towed to the dealer after 8 days they said it was the electrical signal to the throttle body. The manufacture has issued a recall on some models but not all and refuse to cover the repair even though it is a known issue. If the is a mandatory recall, they will have to cover this dangerous issue. Please consider issuing a full recall.”

NHTSA complaint #11234903, filed 2019-07, 90,000 miles

“When driving at highway speeds (65 MPH+) with cruise control enabled, if I pass an 18 wheeler, the car will suddenly jam on the brakes and decelerate from my current speed down below 55 MPH. This happens in less then 3 seconds. There is no one in front of me - it is a clear straightaway. If I step on the gas the car will speed up and I'll pass the truck. At that point the cruise control will operate normally - until I pass another truck. This doesn't happen all then time. Maybe 20%. It seems to happen with tall tractor trailers more then normal trucks. …”

“On april 3, 2018, my wife was driving our 2014 Ford EDGE. As she was entering a curve at 35 MPH, the 'low oil pressure light came on' and she immediately lost the capability to easily turn the steering wheel, and the car began to slow down rapidly. Fortunately, she was not on a freeway or she could have been seriously injured or killed. She realized that even though the engine was still running, the gas pedal would not work. I called planet Ford in houston where we purchased the car and I routinely have the car maintained. Anthony, the quick lane manager, told me to bring the car in. …”

“Random stalling. Usually when slowing down. Dashboard lights up all kinds of warnings. No codes. Shift is locked in park and can not move vehicle. Always able to restart without issue after some delay. Seems to help to unconnect positive battery terminal and drain charge.”

“The door ajar light comes on when I shut the driver side door. The door is latched and is shut properly but the light still comes on. Every time I brake it dings and it displays the door is ajar and transmission is not in park light. This issue is sporadic.”
