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.
Nar 01/15/2003. The idle air control motor failed which caused the vehicle not to idle and stall if the consume did not drive with one foot on the brake and the other on the accelerator. The dealer suggested replacing the part, but not under any warranty. The consumer discovered that if he taps on the componet it will work for awhile. Also the lower trim on the windshield vibrated and the consumer had to place a card board box between the trim and the windshield to stop the noise. The right passenger window will not operate when the sun heats up and shines on that side of the vehicle when the vehicle is parked. The dealer inspected and greased the track, but the problem continued. The consumer believed it was an electrical issue, because as soon as the door cools off and is parked in the shade, the window operated fine.
While pulling out of a parking space, a loud pop sounded and the vehicle stalled. The dealer stated the spark plug stripped out of the cylinder head. Please provide additional information.
Vehicle experincing problem with excessive usages of oil. Replaced a quart of oil every 800 miles. Dealer / manufacturer notified, and informed that was normal. The driver line is also out of balance.
Oil is leaking from the cylinder heads and from the head gaskets, Ford replaced the engine which failed again within 500 miles, Ford refuses to replace the engine again. Nlm
