“I was on the interstate drive when the vehicle's power steering wheel lost full functionality. I was unable to steer left or right without there being a strain. I was nearly 1 hour away from the nearest mechanic shop and was forced to manually override the steering wheel's control in order to arrive at a mechanic shop nearest to my destination.”

NHTSA complaint #11067042, filed 2018-02, 138,000 miles

“I've had to replace all the lug nuts now on this car due to swelling and corrosion. This is ridiculous. I've already had to replace over $3000 of steering gears after only owning it for two days when I bought it.”

NHTSA complaint #11327744, filed 2020-06, 125,000 miles

“Noticed a lug nut was missing from my right front tire. On closer inspection I saw that the wheel stud was broken off. I have never used air tools on the wheel and the lugs have always been torqued to manufacturer's recommended specification (100 ft lbs). There is a similar recall #11v574000 (Ford recall #11s23) active, but it does not list the manufacturing date of my vehicle in this recall.”

NHTSA complaint #10538426, filed 2013-09, 29,500 miles
