“I have complained about my door locks on the back of my car for the last two and a half to three years and no one listens to me. It is a safety hazard for me and my grandchildren. I can't take them with me because the locks don't unlock. Not a safe thing if a accident happened. Couldn't get anyone out of back seat. Please help me. I know I'm not the only one with this.”
NHTSA complaint #10785846, filed 2015-10, 40,000 miles“The back doors lock and u can't unlock them no matter what u do sometimes the front passengers door will lock to but that one u can unlock by pulling handle what happens if my little ones are in the back and I can't get to them this is not safe or smart”
NHTSA complaint #10870688, filed 2016-05, 69,000 miles“It started at on time when going to exit the stationary car, I could not exit the car because the lock would not unlatch, you could not open the driver or passenger doors from inside our outside. Now it has moved on to all the doors, sometimes they work and open sometimes they don't. I have replaced the driver door handle 3 times already for the same issue each time, in the handle latch itself there is a little plastic piece that keeps breaking inside the handle not allowing the handle to pull open the door. …”
NHTSA complaint #11067237, filed 2018-02, 50,000 miles“Air conditioner failing to cool. My car has 33,000 miles on it. I bought it new in oct 2009. I am told it will be about $1,600 or more to repair the AC. This is not acceptable on a car with 33,000 miles on it. I am told the dash, steering column and console have to be removed to repair. I bought this car to last me the rest of my life. The factory warranty is for 36,000 which obviously I am under but it is five years old. I can't afford to fix it on my ss disability income and can't live in texas without AC.”
NHTSA complaint #10762863, filed 2015-09, 33,700 miles“I believe these two items are related: within the last year or more the car did not have smooth, constant acceleration. The vehicle surges slightly off and on while at highway speeds regardless of whether the cruise is being used or not. We took it to Ford and they cleaned the throttle body however the problem reoccurred periodically. Also, within the last month, the vehicle stalled twice on different days while operating at highway speed with no indication that it was going to happen. At the same time the wrench light would illuminate. …”
