Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving down fm 624 when I came up to an 18 wheeler that was coming to a stop. I stepped on the brake pedal and nothing happened, the pedal was solid like I had brakes but the truck didn't respond. I hit the back of the semi at about 40mph and tore the front end off my truck and the airbags didn't go off. Ford said that there was a traction control code at the time of the accident but that did not affect the stopping and even thou the front bumper moved during the impact it didn't take a direct hit so that's why the airbag didn't go off. …”
