Example complaints

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

“There are times when I press on the gas and the engine bogs down and the engine starts running very ruff. I can only do about 2 miles per hour, which is very dangerous as I am in traffic on city streets and on the highway, when this happens. The only thing that fixes it is to pull over, shut the car down, and then restart. This has happened 5 times since I bought the car in december of 2019 and it is only january of 2021.”

“Cars only at 43k miles and constantly stalls. Takes 10 minutes to start. Gas tank makes weird vibrating noise and my gas mileage on full tank will go from 330 to e to 160 to e in 15 seconds. My windows randomly dont work, my lights dim and car just shuts off while driving and the stereo cuts out and looses half power like volume was turned down even tho it wasnt,and the dealership is trying to charge me to fix these issues and im hoping Ford rectified this with having to pursue this. …”

“The car has had problems with stalling for several months, when in motion both at low speeds and up to 40 MPH, as well as at idle. Each time the check engine light has illuminated. It has given codes p2196 and p1450. We took it to the dealer for diagnosis, and they said it needs the fuel vapor canister purge valve replaced. I noticed that Ford issued a safety recall for the focus, 18s32, for a faulty vapor canister purge valve, and have found much evidence on the internet that this is a common problem across Ford product lines. …”

NHTSA complaint #11321324, filed 2020-04, 39,500 miles

“My vehicle was accelerating on a straight section of road during rush hour (had at least a half tank of gas). I was pushing normally on the gas pedal to keep moving and suddenly, without warning, the car decelerated and lost power as if I ran out of gas. It came to a complete stop. No limp mode, I had to coast to a place to pull over. Power was on and all components were working except there was no gas when I pushed the gas pedal. The wrench icon lit up on the dashboard. When I turned off and then restarted the engine the gas pedal worked so I put it in drive and accelerated cautiously. …”

NHTSA complaint #11015233, filed 2017-08, 13,000 miles

“Vehicle has repeated delays when pressing accelerator petal followed by sudden bursts of power. While changing lanes on an interstate highway there was no response in acceleration and power was lost. Rapid, aggressive petal pressure restored power after 10-14 seconds. Crash narrowly averted.”
