Example complaints

Engine: “Car has 89,900 miles on it. Has been serviced every 5k miles. Never had an issue. And then last Friday the car started making a rattling sound under the hood. So I pulled over. No warning lights whatsoever was visible. I turned the car off checked everything and it all seemed fine. I turned back on the car and heard nothing. So I began to drive and after 2 mins the noise started again and now a warning ⚠️ light appeared and stated to pullover safely. I had it towed to shop only to find out that my engine was blown!”

NHTSA complaint #11519082, filed 2023-04

Electrical system: “My car dies and needs jumped everytime I shut it off. There's an odd clicking sound coming from the front floor of the trunk behind the drivers side back seat. This has been happening for 2 days now. I think I can smell something burning, but I've only had that smell once today.”

NHTSA complaint #11656256, filed 2025-04

Steering: “I have a 2019 Ford Fusion. The bolt holding the steering wheel to the steering shaft has come loose. in May 2018 there was a recall for this same loose steering wheel issue on 2014-2018 versions of the Fusion. There is no loose steering wheel recall for the 2019 Fusion. Ford's remedy for the loose steering wheel was replacing the bolt holding the steering wheel to the steering shaft with a longer bolt on the 2014-2018 Fusions. I would expect the longer bolt was used in production in my 2019 Fusion steering, and that's why it is not recalled. …”

NHTSA complaint #11750923, filed 2026-07

Transmission and drivetrain: “When placing my car in to park it doesn't actually go in to park. If you get out after it does this the car will roll. This is terrifying. It started to roll out my driveway after putting it in park. I have to put my emergency brake on so it doesn't roll. I have a video of the incident but I can not attach it.”
