Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Other than the rest of my problems with the above my newest complaint is that I just found out that due to the fact ford installed an aluminim piston where there should have been a steel one which is the only one available now since you discovered your problems. My car is in the shop right now and I'm being told it will cost between $1200.00 - $1500.00 to fix due to ford's poor design. This is not my first Sable wagon. The first one had all kinds of A/C problems and I'm getting tired of paying for your mistakes. My A/C is out now, I replace brake pads all the time.”

I have seen other cars with the same color paint (gray) with the same problem and am wondering whether it can be repaired due to a manufacutor's recall”
