“Pulling my fifth wheel trailer up a hill at 50mph the engine just shut down very abruptly. No alarms or lights that I saw. After letting it sit for a minute or so, put it in park and it restarted, oil temp at 240, trans: temp at 201. First time this has happened. A little over 50,000 miles.”

“I have had two incidents of windows exploding on me out of nowhere. The first incident happened on 2/21/20 near cedarvale, nm. Then, just yesterday(8/9/20), I was sitting at a picnic area alongside the same road(rt 247) and within 10 miles of where the other occurence took place, and my back rear window of my truck just exploded out of nowhere again. The first incident happened when I was driving along the highway at around 65 MPH, and the most recent incident happened when the vehicle was parked.”

NHTSA complaint #11348400, filed 2020-08, 148,000 miles

“My Ford F-250 starts shaking very very bad when I hit a small bump on the freeway. To get the very scary wobble to stop I need to slow down on the freeway between 20-30 miles per hour. This has happened over 50 times. I've had it happen 3 times within ten miles before. Slowing down to 20-30 on the freeway has been very dangerous. And I have almost been in a few accidents because of it. It is so bad and dangerous that I try not to ever have anyone ride in my truck with me. My family is scared to ride it it anyways.”

“Started my f1 50 with the remote control when I put it in reverse the back glass shattered this is the second time this is happened that it cost me $500 deductible each time”

NHTSA complaint #11082369, filed 2018-04, 2,300 miles

“Driving east bound on the 91 freeway in the diamond lane I drove over a roadway imperfection. As soon as I hit it with my left front tire the vehicle made a violent motion to the left almost causing me to strike the center divider. This happened several other times before I returned the vehicle to the dealer to have it checked (12/16/2010). By this time, striking an imperfection with either front tire caused the vehicle to move laterally, left or right. After several visits to the Ford dealer without remedy, a Ford engineer was summoned for a test drive. …”
