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.
I purchased a 2006 Ford Escape in April of 2006. Since then two major safety issues have come up. First occurred in 2007. While driving at slow speed through a parking lot, a faulty bolt holding the rear tire to the chasis failed. This resulted in the right rear tire falling into the wheel well and a significant loss of control of the vehicle. Ford replaced the bolt. The second incident occurred April 13, 2008. I entered the vehicle and attempted to buckle the seat belt. It would not buckle. In both instances I was lucky that 1- I was not moving at any great speed and 2- did not need use of safety equipment.
