Example complaints

“I was driving and all of a sudden steering wheel locked and my car literally shut off while I was driving.. I coasted to the side and I turned off car.. Tried to turn it back on and it kept cranking and I kept doing it like 5 times until it started back up. Sure it is a 2005, but it has been giving me problems since I got it, now it is worse. I don't believe it is wear and tear I actually replaced the whole engine 4 years after I bought my car which is ridiculous to begin with. If my car burns up while I am driving I will really make a stink..”
NHTSA complaint #11063196, filed 2018-01, 200,000 miles“Takata recall. My Ford Expedition 2005, has been messing up for a while now. We've taken it to the mechanic way too many times. It starts shaking sometimes when we step on the gas after we stop at a stop light or stop sign, and going up a hill it feel a like it hesitates and feels as if it's pulling back. Yesterday was what started to concern me though. My vehicle just shut off on me completely while I was on the highway. My Ford focus 2012 has been doing the same thing and it turns out it had a recall issue, so I was wondering if that's the case with my Expedition.”

NHTSA complaint #10128588, filed 2005-07, 7,500 miles“The seat does not fit properly in the vehicle, you have to prop it up on the back of the seat, so the baby is sitting correctly, then it will continue to slide down then the babies head will fall forward. It also does not have the 5 point harness.”
