Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle had complete brake failure 5 times during normal operations. Vehicle was serviced by ford dealership and recommended brake repairs and/or unable to reproduce. Upon last time, technician found a ford service bulletin that covered other similar models and years having exact same problem. They replaced the traction control module, but stated that it was a voluntary replacement. Losing brakes on a 6,000 pound car going 30mph is a recipe for serious death or injury. This component should be recalled. …”
