About These NHTSA Complaints:
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.
Transmission failure at 65K miles. Trans fluid flushed by Ford @ 30K miles. Car is less than 3 years old and almost every mile is on a flat easy interstate highway. I asked for assistance, Ford told me to go fly a kite. I also informed Ford that they lost an entire family's future purchases of any Ford product / service.
