Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was in florida having coffee at the picnic table when I noticed the fuel tank was hanging low. I was lucky to catch it before it fell off on the freeway. I can send you a picture. I understand there is a recall on other Ford pickups 150's and 250's but not my model year, my year truck should be included.”
NHTSA complaint #10701967, filed 2015-03, 141,000 miles“Dt: ABS brakes, air bags, and fuel system failed. At 4700 miles they replaced the entire brake system. Had it a mechanic shop and discovered it was the ABS. While going 55 MPH and making a left hand turn kept pushing the brakes and nothing happened causing a wreck. Kept taking vehicle to Ford, they could not find anything wrong. Upon impact, air bags also did not deploy. Also, fuel lines shut off. This happened on march 15, 2002.”
