Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I purchased a 2000 Mercury Villager bran new. At around 8,000 miles I would get a sickly sweet smell with the air conditioner on. I complained but neither ford nor the dealer could tell me anything or find anything. Later it gor so bad the smell was on my breath and it triggered a bronchial infection that lasted for three months. Since then I have found that the dealer knew it was a mold build up in the air conditioner and he has been spraying with ananti fungal treatment. This clears it for a while, but not permanently. …”
NHTSA complaint #10036910, filed 2003-08, 8,000 miles“Front passenger seat is power controlled. During a hard brake to avoid a collision the seat went into a full recline position. The seat belt would not have restrained a passenger if one had been present. Seat was working fine when I went to the dealer. Could this happen again? What would have caused it? Nothing touched those power buttons. Car is 2000 Mercury Villager. Mary hixson.”
