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.
The steering in my Escape started to become tighter and tighter as I would turn and so, I scheduled a maintenance check through my local Ford service dept. Much to my surprise, they found that the rack and pinion had gone bad. I have 40,000 miles on my vehicle and as you know this exceeds the typical 3yr/36,000 mile warranty. My truck is 13 months old. This is a major component of the vehicle and could have caused me to have an accident.
