Example complaints

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

“Spark plug blow out. There was really nothing that LED up to this that I know of. Apparently this is something that happens a lot to Ford vehicles (I have a 99 mustang v8). Ford recommended a new head ($2000). An alternative was to retape the head ($800).”

NHTSA complaint #10225907, filed 2008-04, 106,500 miles

“The contact stated while driving 35mph, the check engine and coolant light illuminated. The contact pulled over and after initial inspection determined coolant had leaked from the intake manifold.
