Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Windshield wipers park in vertical position on windshield obscuring vision. Dealer replaced wiper motor assembly, wiper switch and harness. Total $820.87 for repairs. Seems to be a common problem-many probes being driven with wipers parked on windshield. Ford issued service bulletins #9546 and#9582. Can I get reimbursed from Ford for this safety related repair?”

NHTSA complaint #726222, filed 2000-07

“Power steering does not work with fast turns, electric mirrors have failed twice, fogging up during winter, plastic trunk cover keeps falling down. Hood always makes vibrating noise.”
