Example complaints

“My instrument cluster failed due to the wiring in the dashboard from the factory was chafing on each other and shorted out. I first thought it was just a fuse but they kept blowing. So I brought it to one dealer they said the cluster needed replacement due to a short in it and would cost $600.00 because my warranty ran out in nov. 2007 but the car only has 28k on it, it's a pleasure car. I called Ford care and they said since I have no service record with them there was nothing they could do for me. …”
NHTSA complaint #10238596, filed 2008-08, 28,150 miles“The contact stated while driving 50 MPH in the rain and shifting from 3rd to 4th gear, the rear of the vehicle began to hydroplane. The contact let up off the gas, and steered into the skid. The steering did nothing. The vehicle spun 180 degrees, which forced the contact to attempt to turn the vehicle in a complete circle. The accelerator pedal was applied to attempt to recover, however the traction control prevented the contact from correcting the skid. The vehicle went over an embankment and became lodged in roadside mud. The manufacturer was notified.”
