Example complaints

“Air bag is coming apart it looks like it's about to deploy. Brakes keep freezing up. When it's cold outside and when it's hot outside. Changed cold and spark plugs both times spark plugs and coils were burnt at the end and some type of gook was on the ends that both shops said they never saw before.”

“On the morning of january 6, 09 my wife stopped to fill her car with gas. After the car was full and the pump shut off she removed the nozzle from the tank and was immediately sprayed was gas. She was lucky that she was just a block from home and was able to get cleaned up without getting hurt. This is not the first occurrence of gas blowback with this car.”

NHTSA complaint #10255395, filed 2009-01, 34,300 miles

“2007 Mercury Milan came to a complete stop on a 2 lane highway, at a speed of approximately 55 MPH in the left hand lane with heavy traffic, no indication of problem to try and even pull over. Towed to garage, was unable to fix. They towed it to a ford dealership, coils, spark plugs, throttle body and PCM replaced, still would not run. Towed back to original garage. Did a smoke test on catalytic converter and stated 1 has to be replaced (will not pass inspection) but because of the number of misfires they strongly recommend replacing all three. …”

NHTSA complaint #10565308, filed 2014-02, 85,000 miles

“Driving on interstate at approximately 75 MPH on 11/16/2011 when vehicle suddenly lost power, engine still running but no response to accelerator. Fortunately there was minimal traffic and I was able to coast and exit the highway into a truck stop. Vehicle was towed to a station that identified a throttle actuator shutdown. System was reset but no other problem could be identified at that time. The same thing happened on 6/15/2012, traveling at approx. 40 MPH on a back road, no other traffic, was able to safely pull to the side. Vehicle mileage at time of second incident was approx 100,040. …”

“The wrench light came on in the car and my OBD sensor will not pick up a code on what it could be. I was driving it yesterday to merge onto a highway when suddenly I couldn’t pass 15 mph and was stuck witch cars beeping and zooming around me. I had to shut the car off wait and turn it back on. The amount of complaints I’ve seen about the same exact issue happening to people in the same exact car is ridiculous to not be a recall. I am almost certain it’s a throttle bottle issue. This needs to be looked into and investigated before ford comes across a lawsuit.”
