Example complaints

Electrical system: “I had damage to my electrical system caused by rodents chewing wires. Upon researching this issue I have found that Ford Motor Company has used soy-based wire coatings which has led to this being a consistent problem with this vehicle. Not only did this cost me $1,500+ dollars to repair which is not covered by warranty it clearly presents a safety hazard in a hybrid vehicle with a high voltage system. It isn't right that Ford Motor Company sticks me with this bill nor is is right that this is allowed to go on without them being responsible to replace affected wiring.”

NHTSA complaint #11637250, filed 2025-01

Engine: “On 5 separate occasions my car has given me a warning saying Stop Safely Now. When I begin to slow down, the car looses all power and I have to coast to a stop somewhere. The first time the car started back up and I was able to drive it again, the following 4 times it had to be towed. Each time I was stranded on the side of the road - once literally on the road because I was unable to get onto the berm because of high snow drifts and the car just stopped, which was a huge safety issue. …”

Fuel system: “I have had multiple CHECK ENGINE LIGHT issues where the description is MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP - REGULATORY and the detailed description is a problem with THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM (EVAP). My cell phone app says fuel vapors are being detected. Three separate times, this check engine light has come on. Three separate times I've brought the vehicle to the dealership. My car only has about 2577 miles on it. It came back from the dealer on Monday -- and today, Tuesday, the check engine light is back on for the 4th time.”

Other or unknown: “After dealer did 3 software updates for recalls I experienced 2 safety issues: 1) Wiper blades now do not recline to the proper position. Right blade goes down past windshield & hits the plastic piece making an extremely loud whack. Left blade does not lower to proper position & obstructs the lower view of windshield & the washer on left blade no longer works. 2) More concerning is while driving in reverse (in rain & dark), the car came to a complete & sudden halt practically giving me whiplash & making an extremely loud crash sound. …”
