Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving down the highway the engine hesitated then seized up. The driver pulled over and turned off the engine at which point the vehicle was in flames. The vehicle was a total loss. It is not known if this vehicle had a recalled cruise control switch and available information varies as to if this make/model was included. Also the dealer who sold us this vehicle approximately 14 months prior to the fire did not check for recalls prior to reselling the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10397912, filed 2011-04, 162,709 miles“The bolts that hold the turbo-charger fell out. The turbo-charger was not operating effectively. Consumer contacted manufacturer, and dealer, and they said too bad, there was nothing they could do.”
NHTSA complaint #10061727, filed 2004-05, 60,000 miles“I was taveling on the interstate at approximately at 60 MPH when I came upon a pick-up truck that was traveling at approximately 20 MPH and rammed into the back end. The Ford dealership that I bought the truck from was to do the repair work. Their body shop was to get with Ford to find out why the airbag did not deploy. The reason they told me was that the other vehicle was moving slightly and that Ford's airbags was not designed to go off in those situations. This to me is a feeble answer.”
NHTSA complaint #700303, filed 1998-11“The cup holders will not properly hold cups when vehicle is turning or when vehicle makes sharp turns. The contents of the cups will spill on the drivers or the passengers legs depending on which direction the vehicle is turning.”
NHTSA complaint #730621, filed 2000-09“Even with the doors shut ajar, instrument panel reflects within windshield, causing poor visiblity for the driver at night. Dealer can't duplicate the problem.”
