“My 2005 Ford f250 superduty harley davidson vehicle was delivered to me without the mandated latch child restraint system, Ford will not correct this, please advise.”
NHTSA complaint #10227089, filed 2008-05, 22,000 miles“My Ford f-250 was broken into via the door handles. My truck is a crewcab and the thieves entered from both sides. Law enforcement reports this is one of the easiest vehicles to break into. A criminal can make entry in seconds. I believe a vehicles lock should hold up longer than that. If this vehicle is that easy to get into, how hard would it be for someone to enter a locked vehicle with someone in it? I not only feel that my personal property is not safe, but the people in the vehicle as well. Shouldn't Ford make there trucks safer?”
NHTSA complaint #10200800, filed 2007-08, 36,000 miles“About 1700 hrs on 21 nov 05, my 2005 f250 super duty was broken into and I had over $2500 dollars worth of things stolen in 3 items. I had a cell phone, over 226 cd's, and my kids portable dvd player with 2 7 screens stolen. All they did was popped the driver's side door key cylinder, cracked my handle, and dented my door and walked away with the stuff. The insurance is going to replace my key cylinder, handle and fix the dent after I pay my deductible. They are going to give me $250 for the loss of the cd's and that is about all I am getting. …”
