Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“This is the second time our gas pedal has snapped and broke off when taking off/ accelerating. It has also seemed to develop some sort of stutter/bog/hesitation that seems to be linked with the communication from the gas pedal to the computer. Sometimes we will go ahead and pull on out into traffic and accelerate to get up to speed and the van will basically feel like it's stuttering/ hesitating and we give it further throttle with the gas peddle, then it will finally engage and seems to drop down several gears and slam/thrust forward. …”
NHTSA complaint #11155637, filed 2018-12, 9,865 miles“While driving the vehicle in a normal fashion, the accelerator pedal broke. Upon inspection of the part, it is evident the mechanism is comprised of plastic.”
NHTSA complaint #11206755, filed 2019-05, 70,000 miles“My VIN number is not included in the backup camera recall. It says the recall includes the 2017 Transit. My back up camera stopped working about a year ago. Also when the camera stopped working my cruise control stopped working also. I believe this is a larger electrical issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11702139, filed 2025-11“While driving I lose power while on highway and or high speed . The RPMS increase to 5-6 nearly hitting red. This has happen four different times, between 60-75 mph. The mechanic didn't find anything when it happen 2nd time. It's happen again after I let go of gas to start braking to exit freeway to ramp. It finally went back to normal 2-3 when I had to completely stop to the side of off ramp. I continue on afterwards as if nothing happened. Serious safety issue since drivers in fear had to brake hard to avoid me this time.”
