Example complaints

“Sunroof glass cracked for no apparent reason. One day it was fine, next day it was cracked. I took to Ford dealer and they told me $1,000 to repair and that they use 3rd party to repair. My car is still under warranty, but they said it is not covered. I did research and many others having the exact same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11192110, filed 2019-03, 20,000 miles“Under hard acceleration there is strong smell in the cabin that smells like sulfur it has gotten so bad that I have to drive with my windows open and I carry a carbon monoxide detector because I'm worried about the fumes being toxic. I do a lot of highway driving so most of the times it occurs on the highway it also happen in city driving from full stop.”
NHTSA complaint #10954301, filed 2017-02, 1,200 miles“The stationary part of my vista glass sunroof cracked. There is no sign of impact and it looks like a stress crack. Ford is not willing to replace it because I am 1 month outside the 3 yr warranty window. I looked online and I see that there are many others with this same cracking issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11255404, filed 2019-09, 13,000 miles“The rear window of my EDGE exploded with no one in the vehicle'. My wife remote started the car, then later she went out to get the newspaper and go shopping when she noticed glass on the ground behind the car. Thinking it was vandalized we called the police. Upon the patrolman's examination he noted that it looks like it was broken from the inside! I agreed. The vehicle was parked in my driveway and was locked.”
NHTSA complaint #11163215, filed 2018-12, 22,900 miles“I opened the rear lift gate while the vehicle was parked and was loading stuff into the back of vehicle; either I accidentally hit the key fob in my pocket or my foot triggered the automatic open/close sensor and the liftgate began closing on me and would not stop even once it felt pressure from hitting an object (me). I barely squeezed out of the way before it slammed shut; this has happened to me on several occasions now and is going to kill someone!”
