Example complaints

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

“Upon starting the vehicle this morning (first sub-freezing day here and first time the car had not been garaged), the driver door did not latch. Repeated attempts to secure the door both from inside and outside the vehicle failed. I held the door closed for a 10-minute drive and partially through the trip it partially latched and by the time I arrived at my destination the door latched and locked. This is similar to an existing recall for 2005 Ford five hundreds (id #06v383000) but in speaking with Ford owner services I am told the recall has not extended to 2006 model year five hundreds. …”
