Example complaints

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

“Fords recall of their 3.8 v6 motor is a travesty that they can get away with it! They knew the motor was bad, put out a recall with a mileage limit (100,000), but then also a time limit (7 years)! How about a car that is not driven the 100k, and gets the problem? The assumption is that if one goes 100k, then they got some value out of it! Therefore Ford did their job! But when one pays good money for their screw up, and the problem happens, and did not do 100k, then the purchaser did not get some value out of it! Ford should stick to the 100k, and not the time limit! …”
