Example complaints

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

“If I crank the car soon after cutting it off, (while it's still warm) engine sputters then quits, as if it isn't getting enough fuel. So when getting gas, I have to hold down the gas pedal or engine quits. As soon as I start pumping, the engine starts choking. I can't turn off the ignition while pumping gas because it won't stay cranked once I try to drive away unless I rev the RPM's up really high for a period of time. I've had it looked at several times and no one can figure out what's wrong. This has been an ongoing problem for over a year. …”

NHTSA complaint #11162795, filed 2018-12, 50,000 miles

“Several times now. While driving the car (AC normally on), we will get to a full stop from driving (over ~40 min trips)... Whether in traffic on a freeway or stop sign... The cars check brake system light will flash & beep, and the car will not accelerate. Neither the electric motor nor the gas/hybrid engine will engage and drive. Turning off and on the car does not reset it... It takes repeat effort and several minutes (once over 10 minutes) to be able to start up. Can't imagine if it were to happen on a freeway again with a child or my other half in the car! Scary! …”

“I bought this car on march 1, 2015. On march 12, 2015, I was driving from san jose (after watching sharks game) to santa clara (my home) on I-280, in the left most lane, when I saw loss of power, engine light came on and warning said alert stop safely , but the time I reached the right most lane, the car lost power and stopped (30 sec). I prayed to god, as this was around 9:00pm at night on highway. I restarted the car, it started again and I was driving on lawarency express way, when the same thing happened, it stopped. …”

“The car has stopped charging and will not operate in hybrid mode. Ford and the dealer have the parts are back order for over 4 months. The dealer is stating that they have 4 other vehicles with the same exact issue. This seems to be an emerging failure point on these cars.”
