Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“We have a Ford 2005 f-450 rack body truck. In 2007-08 we paid a Ford dealership approx.$4000 to replace fuel tank, fuel pump and injectors on said vehicle. Just this week, a different Ford dealership informed us that the original problem happened again and we would incur similar expenses because Ford does not consider this a defect on their part but a problem with the fuel.”
