Example complaints

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

“Brakes on the trailer that I pull did not work properly. The brakes on towed vehicle did not work properly. It was a short in the wiring that Ford installed in the vehicle when built which increased stopping distance very much. The short was fixed for a cost of $582.62 at gaudin Ford. I feel that this should be covered by Ford. I think this is a safety issue.”
