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.
After completing a turn and accelerating to merge into traffic, the vehicle suddenly slammed on its brakes and cut off the accelerator pedal. Every time I tried to accelerate, it would slam violently on the brakes again. As this was happening, all driver assistance warning icons were intermittently flashing on the instrument panel I coasted to the side of the road, engaged park, shut off the vehicle and restarted and it was working fine. I had the dealership look at it and they claimed it was a loose electrical connection that caused it. A few months later, the same thing happened again. This is extremely disconcerting, and in my opinion extremely dangerous. Thankfully in either incident my toddler son was not in the vehicle.

Car bucked and was stalling while making a left hand turn. Vehicle would not start, eventually it started was to bring the car to Ford, car took about 10 tries to start then stalled. Car was towed to Ford, started there and they have not been able to duplicate (tow driver was unable to start vehicle). I have about 4 videos of the issue when it would not start, also have pictures. Dealer had the car for about 10 days, they said they have another vehicle in for service doing the same thing. (this is after reporting one issue where the car lost power while driving at approx 35 mph dealer was unable to duplicate the issue, sent me home with the vehicle.)
On August 16, 2017 I rented a 2017 Ford Edge from alamo at the savannah, ga airport. On August 18, 2017 while en route from savannah to charleston, SC I was stopped by a police officer on highway 17 near yamassee, SC. While on the shoulder with the car running but stationary, smoke began coming out of the car. Myself and my family evacuated and within 5-10 minutes the entire car was engulfed in flames. The policeman radioed for a fire truck but by the time the fire was put out, the entire car and all of its contents was destroyed.
