Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle surges when stepping on the gas and brake. I believe there is a problem with the throttle body and transmission. This is a huge safety issue that needs to be addressed. This has been a huge issue since I purchased the car in feb 2011, however no one at the dealership can figure out what is going on. This happens at least 4-7 times a month.”
NHTSA complaint #10445921, filed 2012-01, 44,000 miles“Unable to start car immediately after filling gas tank. Also, upon stopping at light or turning a corner it feels like the gas is not going to the engine and I am unable to move forward. This forces me to pull over to the side of the road.. At the time I had the air conditioner on and now am told the compressor is bad. There is loud clicking (like the computer is 'thinking') coming from under the dash.”
NHTSA complaint #10783367, filed 2015-10, 105,000 miles“My 2007 Ford Freestyle sel stalled out on me when I was on the interstate and a wrench light came on I put a new throttle body on it and also new transmission filters and changed the transmission fluid”
NHTSA complaint #11092466, filed 2018-05, 168 miles“97,000 miles. I have replaced the throttle body twice, new transmission- hole I n the drive shaft. 3 rear brake jobs- the 1st on was by recall. Cracked motorhead 12,000 miles after new transmission. The whole car shakes, squeaks, and pops since the transmission was put in. From the cv joints and back brakes.”
NHTSA complaint #10410292, filed 2011-07, 75,019 miles“The first time the problem occured was soon after I purchased my car. I took my foot off the brake when the car was in park, and the car lunged forward. Since that time, this has happened numerous times. The car has also lunged backwards when I put the car in reverse and took my foot off the brake. At times, this has caused the car to die. It seems to be worse when the air conditioning is on.”
