NHTSA complaint #11089066, filed 2018-04, 29,201 miles“The front seat passenger seat belt is stuck and will not release to allow buckling. I contacted the lakeland Ford dealer and they said that they would not replace it, without me paying $505, even though they knew it was a safety issue and offered a rental car while the repair would be completed.”
NHTSA complaint #11121067, filed 2018-08, 80,000 miles“After several miles uphill, the vehicle had begun to travel downhill.

The vehicle hit the side of a mountain; very narrow shoulder didn't allow for error. The car overturned. The 'black box' located in the steering wheel collects a volume of data except one important fact: steering wheel angle. The steering wheel was positioned to miss the mountain but not to enter the on-coming lane. The steering didn't react. …”
