Example complaints

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

“The Ford Transit Connect needs a way to turn off the traction control in snow and ice. I got stuck in the snow today and because I can not turn this feature off I could not rock the vehicle out of the snow, creating a traffic jam until I was able to be towed out. Please make Ford create a way that can allow this system to be turned off.”
