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 brake pedal in our 04 F150 was not depressed and our 5 year-old hit the shift and the truck went into reverse at a high speed. The truck is supposed to be equipped with a brake-shift interlocking feature that did not work. The truck is severely damaged, there was property damage, I called Ford and they are not accepting any responsibility for this and said that our insurance paid 900. So they will not fix the problem or repair the damaged vehicle.
Since 3000K miles my truck would shimmy/shake violently to the point I would have to pull off the road. After multiple times to dealeship problem still there. I noticed my emergency brake light stayed on once after pulling release. Had to reapply and pull again and did release. A week later, E brake would not release after multiple attempts. After putting in gear, finally did release. After backing out of driveway, as I started to drive truck was shaking badly. I deducted E-brake sticking causing shaking. Brought to dealer- found stuck E-brake. Replaced adaptor, rotor asy-brake, cable asy-parking brake. Picked up truck-tried E-brake and went to floor, did not hold truck when in gear. Ebrake not working again after just being replaced.
Husband driving down interstate ans sees flames comming up behind him between the cab abd the bed. Pulled over and had fire department put out flames. For dealer stated that "something clogged the breather tube which ignited the fire" twin toddlers were strapped into the carseats in the back of the cab..
While turning into a parking lot the vehicle's Ford hitch broke on both sides. The trailer was taken to a welding shop were they said there wasn't any penetration on the weld, which was welded part way and to take the old receiver to the dealership. The consumer then took the receiver to the dealership, where they claimed the trailer which weight is 2500 lbs was too big, had caused the failure. 2500 lbs, is less then what Ford guarantee there trucks will pull. Jeannette gomes of hartford ins. Is currently in possession of the receiver that failed.
