Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Had issue with the water pump going out - received a quick computer warning stating that the car overheated; then another computer warning letting me know the car would switched to a very very low power-had no warning. Luckily I wasn't on the highway when this happened - I was lucky if the car was going 1 mile/hour. Was on a 2 lane city street. I was turning around in a restaurant parking lot - once I got on the road it happened within seconds”

NHTSA complaint #11010785, filed 2017-07, 70,000 miles

“I was involved in a major collision on thursday 8/27 at approximately 3:30pm. While approaching the intersection to make a right turn, I removed my foot from the gas and attempted to brake, but rather than slow down, my car accelerated. When I pressed the brake all the way down it still continued to accelerate until I hit another vehicle which finally stopped my car. I am lucky no one including myself died- this is absolutely unacceptable. Ford continues to have these issues and their negligence is going to harm more people!”

NHTSA complaint #11352610, filed 2020-09, 90,000 miles

“I have lost ability to accelerate while driving on highway and vehicle would not go above 40 MPH on I-20, a 70mph road system, car jolts or jumps even without foot on accelerator so that I have no control over the car's acceleration. Gas gauge jumps wildly and randomly from 22 mpg to 99 mpg. Brake lights and other lighting systems remain on when car is completely shut down and headlights and interior lights are turned to off position. Additionally, after the car is in park and turned off, vehicle will jump forward several inches. …”

NHTSA complaint #11245105, filed 2019-08, 93,800 miles

“When the engine gets to a warm temperature and then shut off and left for 10 or so minutes, when the engine is restarted, put it drive, within several seconds (15 seconds to 120 seconds) it will begin shuttering and die while driving. Restarting the engine after it quits (which takes about 2 seconds, longer than normal) will start and will again die when beginning to drive. I have been experiencing this issue for about 5-6 months on my Ford with +/- 66k miles. The issue is getting worse and much more frequent. No check engine light or diagnostic codes are present. …”

NHTSA complaint #11339897, filed 2020-07, 66,000 miles

“The o2 sensor has burnt out, & has been burnt out for a while. After refueling at any gas station the vehicle will not start up immediately after the key is turned. It takes several attempts to get the engine to recieve fuel & to turn over, and even then it struggles to start up or keep running. I have tried different patterns of pressing the gas pedal, alternating pressure & time without finding a reliable method. The vehicle has turned off if I do not keep the MPH above 15mph for at least 10 minutes, & if I stop for longer than 60seconds, it sometimes turns off. …”
