“I didn't have a crash I noticed that my ABS brake and tire pressure light was staying on and a short time after I started hearing a loud rumbling noise in the front end every time I slow an it's impossible to make sudden stops and at times my speedometer starts flickering back and forth as well as my cruise control is currently inoperable. I have limited driving this vehicle in which I purchased due to feeling it is not in a safe manner for my children to be in. …”
NHTSA complaint #10584716, filed 2014-04, 140,000 miles“Driving the vehicle became uncomfortable at both low and high speed; therefore, I started investigating to try to identify the cause. 1st I found one of the rear shocks was very bouncy, the rear tires were not straight and both rear tires were wearing on the inside. Replaced both rear shocks. That didn't solve the problem and the rear tires were still not straight. Next I went to mike naughton Ford dealership and talked with a service representative about the problem and asked if there was a recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10547844, filed 2013-10, 157,000 miles“We had our left rear tire blow out and it tore off our fuel filler pipe. I imagine this could be extremely dangerous if the rim had sparked it could have caught fire.”
NHTSA complaint #10595443, filed 2014-06, 164,000 miles“I have made contacts before with Ford. Many items upon my vehicle have went bad since purchase. My main concern was tire blow outs. I contacted Ford after 2 tires blow outs within 3 months time. Since my contact I have had to replace an air conditioner, and other items. But my main concern was a tire blow out again that left my vehicle with front damage and my lower back in pain.”
