Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving home from work on the highway this afternoon my car suddenly jolted to a stop while traveling at 65 MPH on a major us highway. The car flashed a stop safely now message on my dash and I had to coast to the end of the exit as I get off on a left handed exit. I believe this is a safety issue and from reading several posts online I have learned I am not the first. Ford should be held liable for fixing/diagnosing this issue as it is a safety concern for the general public.”
