Example complaints

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

“This vehicle, along with explorers and Transit connects, has day running lights (drls) that are bright enough to act as headlights. In addition, the gauge cluster is always illuminated, which doesn't alert the driver to the fact that the taillights are off, decreasing nighttime visibility. The older gauge clusters were better. This is not a specific incident, but a design flaw.”

NHTSA complaint #10947616, filed 2017-01, 30,000 miles
