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

“Headlights are not strong enough to light up the road. Have to use high beam at night. Leg lights like these just disappear out in the dark, is not beamed at all. Cannot see the road, period. Contacted fr but they don't recognize this problem or take any responsibility. Light fixture are also loose and hard to tighten back up. The Ford f53 chassis is a 2014 make. Suspension is really bad in the front. 3 times replaced bearings and spindle. On warranty but there is really not enough suspension and it makes the front vibrate. …”
