Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The mount under the left side of the driver's seat has broken and is unable to be fixed with a bolt. This occured while driving down the roadway. When the driver of the vehicle makes a left turn, the seat leans to the right. This causes a safety hazard. The rear end of the car also makes a scrubbing sound when there are more than two people in the car. The sound is made when going over bumps and when accelerating slowly from a complete stop. I also had to pay for a cracked head gasket in late 2001. I was not aware of the recall on the head gaskets until the day my car was put in the shop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10096166, filed 2004-10“On a regular basis, the radio picks up engine noise, drowning out the radio sounds. On two occasions I have taken the car to woody anderson Ford in huntsville, alabama to get it repaired, but each time the dealer stated that it could not repair it unless the radio was making the noise at the time it was brought it. This is next to impossible since the noise is intermittent, and usually stops within 15 minutes. The dealer is 25 minutes from my home. I had the alternator replaced and that seemed to help for a short period of time, but the problem soon resumed. …”
NHTSA complaint #711250, filed 2000-04“The rear stabilizer bar broke on the passenger side at the rear-most attaching point. I have been informed by other owners of the sn95 platform Mustang (94-98) of this same exact failure. Upon replacement of the part it was realized that the rear stabilizer bar had previously been replaced. The build date on the part that broke was from year 1996 the vehicle is a 1994. With the number of failures of this particular part and the scenerious a being almost identical, I should think that there would be some attention given to the matter by Ford in the form of a recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #540192, filed 1998-08“Our vehicle has just started over heating without any kind of warning, the front driver seat electric switch to move seat forward and back will not move the seat, and the rear suspension is niosey, upon backing up and slight dips in road or more that 2 passengers in vehicle at a time”
NHTSA complaint #728874, filed 2000-08“The rear swaybar broke on the passenger's side at the rear mounting bolt. This is the second failure of a swaybar. In both cases, the swaybar broke at the rear mounting hole. In the first case, the bar dropped down and swung freely under the car.”
