Example complaints
Engine cooling: “2001 Ford f-150 Supercrew. 4.6l triton v8 engine. #3 sparkplug on the passenger side blew out of the head and destroyed the threads making it impossible to replace the plug. 109,000 mi. Original factory installed plugs in vehicle. Never replaced or touched before.”
NHTSA complaint #10325019, filed 2010-04, 109,000 milesSeats: “Rear end collision. My children were in the rear seat of a f150 Ford Supercrew when we were rearended. Both the children struck their heads on the rear window glass. They had minor neck sprains and discomfort. The lack of rear seat head rests in a 2001 vehicle contributed to their injury. This lack of proper safety equipment in a new vehicle has been fixed in a midmodel correction by Ford. I think they should offer a retrofit for other vehicles in the same model year.”
NHTSA complaint #10039545, filed 2003-09, 25,000 milesVehicle speed control: “Truck caught fire around 4:00 am on 05/17/05 while parked in the driveway. My 5-year-old child awoke and came to our bedroom and awakened us. We saw a glow out the window and looked out the window to find the truck was on fire. I called 911 and attempted to put out the fire with the water hose unsuccessfully until the fire department got there. I then began to water down my wife's and sister-in-law's vehicles which were parked close to the truck and wet down the house which was also close by. The fire department then arrived and put out the fire but the truck was already destroyed.”
NHTSA complaint #10121425, filed 2005-05, 118,000 milesElectrical system: “I had a Ford f-150 Supercrew 2001 that went up in flames in my garage while parked and has not ran for 15-30 minutes. I lost both vehicles in the garage along with the contents in the garage. No offcial word is out on what caused the fire in the truck, but the fire was started by the truck somewhere near the engine compartment.”
