Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I'm also having electrical problems, get shocked every time you touch the car. The windshield wipers work when they want to and the turn signals work only when they want to as well. Along with the head gasket blowing this car has been nothing but trouble for me. Also the trunk leaks and smells musty and the rear window will not defog when it is raiining. I'm very disappointed in Ford.”
