Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving in traffic, my wife's Expedition made a loud noise in the engine compartment. A few hundred feet later, it made the same noise, loosing power steering and power brakes, causing her to have to pull off to the side of the road with minimal control of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Ford dealership, who informed me that the fuel pump purge valve had stuck closed, causing the fuel pump to suck all of the air out of the gas tank and literally implode the gas tank and destroy the fuel pump itself. …”
NHTSA complaint #10763940, filed 2015-09, 48,500 miles“Rear and front differential leaks caused expensive fixes. Fuel issue is that the sensor doesn't work correctly in very cold weather and constantly shows zero miles to empty on information panel. Caused us to fun out of fuel on a few occasions. On the fuel this happens in motion, the differential was caught on a tune up and fixed at that time.”
