Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My driver seat heater was getting very hot, after a few times of this intense heat it now doesn't turn on at all. I have read a lot of others have had this same issue with the driver seat. Considering I only use it 4 months out of the year, and usually only 5 or 10 minutes at a time, there should be no reason that it have burnt out.”
NHTSA complaint #11039589, filed 2017-10, 95,000 miles“Takata recall I received the notice to have my airbags replaced & bolton Ford has not responded. My driver door will not open from the inside of the vehicle & my brakes need me to go all the way to the floor before the brakes stop the car. Car was stationery when driver door would not open & driving coming to a stop when brakes need pushing to the floor to work properly.”
NHTSA complaint #11044865, filed 2017-11, 165,711 miles“1.takata recall. 3-5 year waiting period and yet no repair. Also, if driver airbag is takata, why no recall or replacement? 2. Brakes will drop all the way to floor in emergency braking! Why no recall or fix? This is life threatening problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11093174, filed 2018-05, 60,000 miles“Front seat head restraints are mounted at an extreme angle which forces your head forward at an uncomfortable angle. The head restraints need to be more straight up and down instead of curving forward.”
NHTSA complaint #10258268, filed 2009-02, 5,200 miles“3 issues: I saw someone else post this- my break pedal is also soft and goes all the way down to the floor after antilock breaks are engaged (like on icy or wet roads). There is no other time this occurs- as it's the breaks, I've been very mindful of it. I have also had the breaks replaces so I don't think it's actually the breaks but rather somewhere within the breaking mechanics. Second, only when turning left, I get a clunk sound at about 1/4 of the way thru the turn. I thought the sound was coming from rear left axle area- but I honestly cannot isolate its origin. …”
