Example complaints

“Received a recall notice sometime ago and were told not available, and few months I I would check to no avail. Last time I check was this fall still not available, now I'm stuck with it being checked for my safety. Still waiting for recall replacement.”
NHTSA complaint #11056315, filed 2017-12“The 2006 Ford Mustang v6 coupe seats pose a dangerous threat not only for the way they are bolted into the car's frame and rust away but the fact the sides of the seat cloth rips away, exposing the internal stuffing. As stuffing falls out, the seat's solid structure is left, which will cause a severe back injury if in a car accident. The 2006 Ford Mustang v6 coupe manuel transmission synchronizer poses a problem because the second gear no longer functions, posing a severe threat in switching gears and causing an accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #11353356, filed 2020-09“Numerous little failures. Gas light stays on, levers on seat backs both broken, side mirrors needed replaced, both sides. When accelerating the car surges, then chokes, surges again.”
