Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I initially start my vehicle there are no problems. The problem starts if I turn my car off after driving it. It will start and I can drive for about 500 feet and it will then turn off. I have to restart it and then it continues to drive normally. This happens almost every time I start, stop and restart the vehicle. It is always while the vehicle is in motion.”
NHTSA complaint #11155846, filed 2018-12, 84,500 miles“Vehicle's gas peddle becomes unresponsive/locks while in operation. Twice this has occurred at top speeds of 65 on major highways and thankfully, in situations where I could pull onto a median. That said, this is a very dangerous situation regardless and should substantiate an investigation as it's apparent I'm not the only one who's experienced this. In addition to this, the vehicle refuses to turn over when filled with gasoline.”
NHTSA complaint #11387590, filed 2021-01, 81,000 miles“Takata recall: the car is stalling while I am in drive, with speeds up to 70 MPH. It also will not start after I have put gas in the tank. I have to step on the gas to gwt it to start. The car is also shaking back and forth while in park just trying to stay started. Then it will die. Everytime I come to a stoplight or a stop sign I go through this and have great difficulty starting it back up continuously.”
NHTSA complaint #11241975, filed 2019-08, 117,000 miles“When turning on the car and actually taking off driving the car will stop/ shut off all by itself and I have to restart it, while driving. The steering wheel will pull or jerk while driving. I have had my car looked at twice. Changed the battery and still can't figure out why it does it.”
NHTSA complaint #11066743, filed 2018-02, 100,000 miles“After fill up slow in parking lot hear what sounds like a bad wheel bearing from r rear. Checked out other complaints found Ford will replace some more expensive model fuel tanks not mine.was told to live with it . There is a service bulletin from Ford same year as mine . I have a base model so I don't qualify . It's true it's a brand new car! $23,000 it cost me .”
