Example complaints

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

“Since the purchase of our 2001 Ford f650, we have had continual problems that are the obvious result of a manufacturer's defect. Not only has this problem cost us money, but we believe that it is a safety risk that cannot be ignored. The clutch itself will fail on the truck in the middle of traffic. The exact problem lies in the clutch cylinder, which, we have replaced an amazing five times. After talking with dealers of this truck and researching others who have purchased this truck for commercial use, we have found that they are having the same problems. …”
