Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The major problem was the head gasket failure (after 100,000 miles) with the engine needing to be replaced. I was not notified at any time regarding this recall. Ford denies that this problem was a recall and that it was my fault that the engine went since I do not do all my repairs at the Ford dealership and if I had, I would've been notified of the head gasket failure problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10070954, filed 2004-01, 110,000 miles“While trying to buckle up the lower seat belt retractor locked and will not unlock. I tried contacting every third part, oem and dealer in the eastern half of the united states for a replacement seat belt. This part is not available as new or recertified. Since this is critical to the safety of passengers Ford should provide an alternative solution or part.”
