Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“From day 1 until present with 6400 miles, this car on hard acceleration, brings in exhaust fumes so severe that the fumes will make you physically sick and will even set off a carbon dioxide detector ( this happens with all windows shut and the air on recirculate). Normal driving, no problem if engine rpms are kept below 1500 RPM --- but---- don`t try to get up to speed merging on a freeway or any high revving situation. Ford dealer won`t do anything until it throws a computer code, which it has not. Ford customer service is a joke after spending hours on the phone. …”
