Example complaints

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

“On three separate occasions, my vehicle lost the ability to accelerate. The first time I was attempting to pass slow moving farm equipment when my vehicle lost power, had a loud vibrating/rattling noise and multiple dashboard warnings flashed. Luckily, I was able to merge back into my lane and pull off the side of the road. I took the vehicle in for service and was told I needed new phasers. Once I got my vehicle back, I was still experiencing issues. Fortunately, the next two times my vehicle lost power I was driving at low speeds. …”

NHTSA complaint #11531501, filed 2023-07

“While driving my 2019 Ford Expedition uphill with my wife and children in the vehicle, the transmission unexpectedly dropped into a lower gear and the vehicle's normal drivability was disrupted. The event occurred suddenly and created a dangerous situation because the vehicle did not shift or respond the way I expected while actively traveling on the roadway. I had received no indication that such a sudden transmission malfunction was about to occur. I am concerned about the potential for a crash if this occurs during acceleration, while climbing a hill, or in surrounding traffic. …”
