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.
The front suspension ball joints were replaced at my cost. They had started squeaking and were worn badly. My mechanic suggests that the entire front suspension be rebuilt for safety because Ford does not have grease joints on any these parts. When the horn button was pushed for longer than a few seconds, it used to blow the fuse. The last time it did this, it also disabled the cruise control. I was told by my mechanic the only fix was to replace the steering column where these wires were shorting together internally.
Front suspension was popping and getting tight. Ball joints broke into two pieces, and the front of vehicle dropped down, totally disabling the vehicle.
While driving ball joints/pitman arm malfunctioned. Was no prior warning. Vehicle was serviced by dealership before problem happened. Steering linkages were defective after having vehicle checked.
Design of ball joints causes them to not have greased insert which resulted in ball joint failing collapsing the left front end of vehicle and puncturing the left front tire. Nlm
