Example complaints

“Nox sensor and module failure. Did not leave us abandoned, but if it was 1 week later, it would have left us on the highway on a weekend with no way to fix. Recalls for software updates cover up to 2013, but not this 2014 truck. This sensor failure should not leave the truck practically disabled.”
NHTSA complaint #10714704, filed 2015-05, 16,500 miles“Since my vehicle has been in warranty I've had intermittent issues where my vehicle loses track of what gear its in and forces downshift to 1st gear. For the most part this only happened when I was going slower speeds. I told my Ford dealer about it but they said there were no recalls for it. On Wednesday while driving at highway speeds my dash lights indicating the transmission position began to flicker then my vehicle downshifted to first gear locking up the tires and screeching me to a near halt.”
NHTSA complaint #11654666, filed 2025-04“While driving 60 mph, in heavy rain, flat roadway the vehicle down shifted from 6th gear to 4th and from 6th gear to 3rd several times. The shift to 3rd from 6th was hard and accompanied by a temporary loss of forward momentum. No check engine light came on. All temperature gauges remained within normal range. The tachometer jumped and fell wildly during each of the events. I pulled off the highway at the next exit, turned off the ignition, and waited a few minutes. I restarted the truck and proceeded without additional problems.”
NHTSA complaint #11568184, filed 2024-01“The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-350. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, another vehicle pulled in front, and he was not able to honk the horn. Additionally, the cruise control deactivated independently. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer who determined a failure with the clock spring. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.”
NHTSA complaint #11539209, filed 2023-08, 200,000 miles“Apim sync module went out. This module services several components and has been issue in multiple models. Out of warranty by a year. Have to pay out of pocket. Blue def tank heating element causes check engine light. This is part of exhaust. Should be addressed.”
