Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When steering the car in a turn, such as on and off ramps, the steering wheel will jerk in the direction of steering and the (tcs) traction control system light comes on. This began happening after taking the car to the dealership to have a recalled steering bolt replaced. I have taken the car to three Ford dealerships, and none of them can find anything wrong. I took the car to the Ford dealership recently on 2-26-2121 and was told that the steering ball joint needed to be replaced for $610.00 which I found absurd.”
NHTSA complaint #11399248, filed 2021-03, 45,000 miles“Good afternoon, I want to bring this to your attention. I don't know if it's a problem with Ford or with me. So please bear with me. I just purchased the above vehicle about 3 weeks ago. It is brand new. This vehicle comes with a feature called active park assist. It is new to me and have never owned a vehicle with this feature previously. Yesterday, I used it for the first time. I turned it on and let it parallel park for me. I followed the directions on the vehicle video screen and took my hands of the wheel. The vehicle then backed into the space and struck the car parked behind. …”
