NHTSA complaint #11267212, filed 2019-10, 12 miles“This Recall has been out for more than 6 months without remedy. Is there anyway to get this resolved soon? Why hasn't there been any solution placed within a timely matter? I want to make sure that I am safely secured in my seat. I want to be able to trust that the seatbelt used will save my life if need be.”
NHTSA complaint #11734561, filed 2026-04“While backing up my rear view camera finally went completely out. I have 3 recalls and it's been way over a year or better all I keep getting is notices that they don't have my parts. Over a year really. Can you help me get my car fixed? I have 4 small grandchildren age 1-9 which 2 of them I pick up daily. I want to make sure I do everything I can to keep them safe. If I was a year late on my car payment they would not wait. I think I have been more than patient.”
NHTSA complaint #11700983, filed 2025-11“Recall performed and tech stated parts were bad and needed desperately and parts were ordered. I have a repair invoice to prove it in my vehicle history. I rescheduled appointment for recall completion and service manager was very rude and stated recall doesn’t even have parts out until 11/2026. When I questioned if recall was performed improperly per TSB she placed me on hold for a while and she said parts department doesn’t have parts for me /never ordered anything and I can’t get the recall done.”
NHTSA complaint #11744206, filed 2026-06“This is the issue, It’s Been 9 months waiting for Ford to provide a seat belt so I can drive my car. Is Ford required to provide safety equipment for a car built in 2017 ?”
