Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was out driving the other day, and I heard something dragging on the ground, I pulled over to check, and upon inspection, found that the fuel tank support straps had rusted out, one of them so badly that it had split in two, and the other is close to failure. I did an internet search, and found that some fords (pickups) on the same year range had a recall on the same issue. Ford has yet to issue a recall on the issue for may car make model and year.”
