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.
Vehicle failed to start. Voltage on instrument panel not showing vehicle receiving any voltage. Might be related to interlock switch on clutch. Switch was going bad. The engine stalled & had lost steering power. Been to dealer & informed had no problems before.
On my 1995 Ford F-150 P/U truck, there is a clutch linkage rod which goes through the neutral safety switch and impacts/interacts with the clutch master cylinder. This part endures wear each time the clutch pedal is depressed. As such, the plastic end of this rod and the plastic snap/bushing/lock that is part of it also wears since they are in contact with a linkage rod with considerable force. When the wear becomes excessive, the snap ring/bushing/female rod end fail and slip or break off causing the clutch to engage the transmission at whatever gear is engaged at that time.
