Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When partially depressed the turn signal will only blink 3 times. I think I have activated a proper turn signal only to find out it was a partial. Ford says there is no way to program this differently. Does 3 blinks constitute a turnsignal?”
