Example complaints

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

“While unloading the back of my truck, I was burned by the tail pipe that protrudes from the back right side of the truck. The burn is a 1/2 round shape on my right leg. Took the truck in for service and Lincoln dealership said that is how it was designed for my model year and no fix was available. I have reported the problem to Lincoln but have not heard back from them as of this writing.”
