Example complaints

Transmission and drivetrain: “The driveshaft separated resulting in a loss of motive power while we were driving on the highway at around 65-70mph. We heard/felt vibrations, and a harsh noise then a loud popping noise right before/ during the failure. Then heard dragging as we came toward the guard rail. It caused a loss of control of the vehicle almost causing us to crash. We were able to pull to the side of the road while traffic went around us. One vehicle pulled over in front of us checking their car stating they saw something fly out from under ours but then they left. …”

NHTSA complaint #11756773, filed 2026-08

Electrical system: “My vehicles turn signal audio indicator is extremely quiet and cannot be heard at speeds above 45MPH creating a safety issue. I have checked the vehicle audio settings in addition to the vehicle owner manual and there is no user setting to adjust audio. I asked the dealer where i purchased my vehicle (Northtown Ford, Menomonie, WI) about the issue and they did not have a solution.”

NHTSA complaint #11718880, filed 2026-02

Other or unknown: “2025 E-350 Safety Recalls* Main control valve body or transmission replacement Recall incomplete As transmission controls highway speed at 60mph and higher. RECOMMENDED FOR ALL 2025 E-350 to be reported as UNDRIVABLE and brought in IMMEDIATELY for Safety Recall, and highway safety international. Please BROADCAST as amber alert and/or new cast notifications.”

NHTSA complaint #11679472, filed 2025-08

Engine: “After using manual mode and brakes to slow down I went back to automatic mode without coming to a stop. I was turning left and it felt like I had let off the gas completely but I was pressing harder and harder but my truck wouldn't do anything and the gas pedal did nothing. Then a second later it aggressively accelerated and went back to normal. It did it once 2 weeks ago also when I was turning right and I thought it was just the proximity sensor or something thinking I was too close to a car or something and cut power but there was no beeping. I have it on the dash camera if that helps.”
