Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Wrench light appeared on dash and while driving the car on the city streets the car has a sluggish start and then a bit of a burst and then light power as I accelerate. Also I have had to change door handles and locks 3 times since I have purchase. The handles just snap off. The car will unlock but I have to manually lock most locks and open the car by putting down the window.”
NHTSA complaint #10916004, filed 2016-10, 100,000 miles“There is a recall on airbags and every time I call my Ford dealership they tell me they don't have the part to do the recall repair. Also recently my door handle had broke leaving it unable to lock. I work at a bar so I leave late hours I was very scared by a gentleman hanging around so I got in my car to lock the doors only to break my handle and find out this happens a lot and when the mechanism breaks the locks no longer work.”
NHTSA complaint #11154655, filed 2018-11, 114,000 miles“The exterior paint chips of in 2 diameter. Also when I took car for the airbag recall on 9/15/2018, it drove good to coccia Ford. It drove ok back to house after installation of new airbags. A few hours later after we had parked the car, we got call to go and pick up my hubby's medicine from walgreen, so we did. When rick got back to car, I tried to start it up. It bucked, made noise and I felt like I was riding a mechanical bull. I had pulled out about 3 feet, so I had to pull back up. …”
NHTSA complaint #11133384, filed 2018-10, 156,000 miles“When driving the wrench light comes on and the car looses power. I can't accelerate. If I pull off the road and turn off the car and turn it back on it fixes it. Sometimes the check engine light comes on after that.”
NHTSA complaint #10787086, filed 2015-10, 96,500 miles“Now months after first receiving my recall notice to contact my local Ford dealership (which I did at that time) I still cannot get an appointment for the part replacement of the airbag inflator. I realize the situation of the inflator manufacturer being overrun with the replacement orders, but our need still exists as customers for the safety of our families. Ford has an ethical and fiduciary responsibility to its customers in this. What can you do to assist we customers left with potential harm to our families? Thank-you.”
