Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Continually chirping noise while car is moving. Dealership stated that it was in the wheels. Was told that this can not be corrected because the manufacturer has not been able to address this problem. Complaints have been filed to Ford and they generated a letter to dealers telling them not to replace things because they do not know what is causing this. Meanwhile, I have to drive a brand new car that sounds loud and annoying.”
NHTSA complaint #10075152, filed 2004-06, 600 miles“2004 Taurus se - continual chirping noise from my wheel covers. At first I thought it was the breaks or bearings. Tsb said to pack wheel covers with felt. Have been back to the dealership 3 times due to noise. Poor wheel cover design by Ford. I am expecting to have current wheels replaced with aluminum.”
