Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I purchased an 04 Lincoln Aviator in dec. 2006, in aug. 2007 I noticed it was not running right. It was stalling when accelerating or decelerating. It would sputter like it was out of fuel. The problem worsened for the next 6 wks. No mechanic could tell me what was wrong because the engine light had not come on. In oct. 2007, I was driving on the interstate when my car lost all power for a split second. I took it to the mechanic who could not tell me what was wrong still. Then my check engine light came on and I was told it was a coil pack. …”
