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.
My vehicle went in for oil change, tire rotation and tailgate recall. Now I was told by the dealer that lug nuts had swelled because manufacturer put caps on the nuts which causes overheating. According to my dealership I have 12 lug nuts to replace. Is this reasonable to replace these items on a 4 year old vehicle? My dealership told me they don't make vehicles like they used to.
High amplitude vibration at various speeds. Most noticeable between 50 and 70mph. I complained about it to the dealership and they determined the ring and pinion gears needed replacing at 4200 miles. Vibration persisted, so I took it back and they tried roadforce balancing the wheels/tires and checking for runout. This did not fix the problem either. Then they tried replacing wheels and tires all together, still with no success.
Dec 20, 2019, had a flat. Put on spare; rim fit but tire was 17 inch, instead of 20. Called service dept of lugoff Ford. "[xxx]" advised me not to drive further or faster than absolutely necessary. Took truck in the next day and they fixed the flat. Said no manager was there, call back Monday. I called back Monday and the operator said [xxx] would call me back. I called every day for the next week and on Jan 9,2020, he called me back and said he would see what he could do and call me back. I waited 3 days and began calling every day to leave a message. He still has not called. In the interim, I called "Ford national" on Jan 21, 2020, and talked to "[xxx]" [xxx] cain put me on hold 3 times for several minutes while she talked to lugoff Ford. Finally she came back to the phone and said that after the first conversation, lugoff Ford kept giving her the wrong extension or disconnecting her. To summarize, I believe they should have giving me 5 20 inch tires instead of 4 when they installed the $2000 "appearance package". if they were going to give me a "doughnut", there should have been some sort of highly noticable disclaimer. The only way I could have known I did not have a real spare would have been to crawl under the truck.(even 2 of their technicians and 1 of their salesmen did not know when I asked them.) I believe they should take back the 17 inch tire and give me a 20 inch tire information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
There is a bad viberation at 60/70 mph. This is a $740 F150 limited. They put two new tires on and still bad. Now they are checking all drivetrain still nothing. This truck only has 700 miles on it. Its a 2019. Do not want this truck now. Ford knows they have a problem. This is a lot of money for me to spend. I think they need to buy this truck back, to big a problem to put up with.
