Example complaints

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

“My car has had numerous electrical issues since the day I have purchased it. Again, last week, the instrument panel lit up with numerous codes. I drove it to the dealership and left the car for a few days. The codes cleared and they cannot root cause the issue. In addition, when I have been at a stop light the driver's seat regresses backwards, and the side view mirror moves at the same time.”

“2014 Lincoln MKZ on which the seat heaters had quit working. Took the car to a ford dealer and found out that the negative wire from the module connecter to the control module had shorted snd burned. This problem could have developed into a fire at any time in that there is power to this controller full time. As to the time this shortage occured could have been any time.”
