Example complaints

Body and structure: “Fuel filler door hinges continues to break and the consumer has to pay for a new housing unit. The hinges can break at anytime and the fuel door can become a potential issue while driving. It can break all the way off and hit another vehicle while traveling on the road/ Highway. The problem has been confirmed by the dealerships as they always have back-stock of new units to replace. There is no warning as to when it breaks at all.”

NHTSA complaint #11725020, filed 2026-03

Electrical system: “We were on our way to a campground. Approximately 40 miles from the campground the RV shut down. All chassis systems failed including the engine and electrical systems. It is available for inspection. Our safety as well as the first mechanic on the scene and tow truck driver because we were only partially off of the roadway. There were no hazard lights working. The problem was confirmed by Westlies Truck Center in Minot ND. The component(s) have not been inspected. There were no warnings or symptoms of any kind. I was told by the service manager that it could happen again.”

NHTSA complaint #11757120, filed 2026-08

Wheels: “We are now 3 months into Ford recall 24S21/24V226 for the Transit Trail. No communication has been received beyond the initial notice in March and no timeline has been given. As seen in forums online, many buyers, myself included, sit in the dark while our vans rot away on the dealers lot with no end in sight. Ford needs to at least give us a timeline so buyers can make an informed decision on proceeding to wait, or back out of their purchases (if possible).”
