This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I received a card that said: Danger, the Ford that you are driving is involved in a product safety campaign #99525 and needs immediate attention. What is the safety campaign about" we bought this vehicle used and the original car dealer is in another state. What is wrong with the car"
Consumer filled tank with gas and after paying and coming back ou noticed gas was spilling all over the ground. It continued to leak for 3 hours. Dealer found a crack in fuel tank. Consumer had to get replace whole assembly at his cost.
Since purchase of vehicle when driving through a puddle of water or in rain, power steering will go out. At that time alernator light comes on, has been to dealer numerous times for this, seems to be a design flaw. Also, filling up with gasoline vehicle will smell for long time.
Have had numerous problems: Interior/brake lights failed to light. Replaced switch twice. Fuel filler door will not open with latch inside. Never worked. Cigarette lighter failed. Power window on driver's side has failed. Car intermittently will not start due to drained battery. Mechanic could find no cause for this related to alternator/charging system of car. Never able to fix this. Trunk leaks water around seal. ABS light keeps coming on. Mechanic could find no problem with ABS. Air conditioner/heater would only blow out defrost setting. Also bad smell comes from ac when on. Rear seat belts keep jamming; not able to use sometimes because they won't come out. Worst problem so far: Transmission has failed. Not yet fixed. I loved this car once, now I hate it! the whole thing should be recalled.
While driving at any speed and when applying the brakes, they are not hard but medium. When driving over any speed bump there is a very loud noise coming from the back of the vehicle by the fuel tank.
