Example complaints

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

“A/c randomly goes to highest setting and you can't adjust it or turn it off. Typically happens in extreme termperatures (hot and cold). Beeping noise as if you are pressing the buttons is continuous. Was advised it was a faulty fcim but the part is on back order and no one can advise when this part will become available. In doing research, the fcim part seems to be failing in many vehicles and everyone has the same complaint - they can't get one.”

NHTSA complaint #11156729, filed 2018-12, 65,000 miles

“rear-view camera issue causing inverted, distorted, or blank image. I paid to replace the camera when I purchased the used vehicle. The replacement rear view camera installed at the dealership has the same issue. I would like this rear view camera to be part of the recall ongoing for rear cameras as apparently the replacement parts have the same issue. This rear view camera was replaced and continues to fail on my 2013 Lincoln MKS.”

“REAR CAMERA ON 2013MY LINCOLN MKS has been replaced and the replacment continues to fail. The camera either does not work producing no image, the image is upside down, or the image is grainy. The original camera failed and I replaced it and the replacement is failing the same way. I have spent over $1000 replacing this rear camera. It seems the new camera installed is the same one getting recalled on new vehicles and I believe my rear camera should be part of this recall since it was a replacment part.”

NHTSA complaint #11653415, filed 2025-04

“Power Steering Issues. Power steering completely locks up or totally doesn’t work most times. Unable to turn steering wheel. Have been told by several mechanics they have say the same issue with other Models that have been recalled. Some VIN numbers are not being recalled.”
