Example complaints

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

“I have a 2000 Ford Mustang Gt. The paint all over the car is cracking like an eggshell. I called Ford and of course they said the warranty is expired and they wonder why all their sales are dropping.”

NHTSA complaint #10235850, filed 2008-07, 50,000 miles

“There were noises coming from the steering wheel and column. The dealer was unable to detect. The suspension creaks/pops while driving after a cold start, the noises fade after the vehicle is warm. The rack and pinion was replaced. The steering column collapsed on the consumers foot while driving and while head on with an 18 wheeler. The vehicle drifted into oncoming traffic. Dealer installed a new sector shaft. The brake pedal was spongy, the tires started to dry crack(the consumer was advised to keep an eye on), and the center console would not latch shut.”
